In all previous Checkmk versions the Checkmk packages deployed two types of init scripts:

  • The global omd init script
  • The version specific check-mk-<EDITION>-<VERSION> init script

This had an effect on systemd environments as well, which also had a omd.service unit and a check-mk-<EDITION>-<VERSION>.service unit.

This change now removes the version specific init script and units to make the situation less confusing.

This change only affects Debian and Ubuntu. All other distros only deployed the global init script or systemd service unit.
