Adding a common service on Ubuntu/Debian OS

In order to add a service on boot, we are using our own CLI tool called servicectl.

It is as easy to use as :

sudo servicectl -e <service_name>

So for mariadb, it would be:

sudo servicectl -e mariadb

To get more information on how to use servicectl, you can always display the full help:

sudo servicectl -h
Usage:

      --enable, -e [service]         Enable a service
      --disable, -d [service]        Disable a service
      --start, -s                    Start all enabled services
      --list, -l                     List all enabled services
      --help, -h                     Display this help message

Our VPSmini doesn't use Systemd, we are using System V init scripts.
