Public bug reported:
This report is requesting a backport of I'm guessing systemd patches
that are applied to and work in Vivid, to Utopic (and Trusty if
applicable).
What is expected to happen in Utopic is when one utilizes systemd to start
x11vnc upon a reboot as per the below procedure it works like it does in Vivid:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
#START
[Unit]
Description=Start x11vnc at startup.
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -loop -auth guess -rfbauth /home/moniker/.vnc/passwd
-rfbport 5900 -forever -nevershared -repeat
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
#END
sudo chmod u+x /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start x11vnc.service
sudo systemctl status x11vnc.service
x11vnc.service - Start x11vnc at startup.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash init=/bin/systemd"
save, close, execute:
sudo update-grub && sudo reboot now
and upon restarting, the x11vnc service is active.
Instead, when one restarts, and checks the status it notes:
x11vnc.service - Start x11vnc at startup.
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service; disabled)
