Ok I think we are getting away from the point a little here. A couple of things: init.d still works, systemd is required to run non-compliant init.d scripts just like before. Unless someone has modified the LMS startup to deliberately bolt into systemd then its behaviour will still be dictated by the presence or otherwise of files in init.d.
Second Telnet is more a generic TCP connection method than a terminal. If port 9000 responds to your web browser, it will respond to telnet. If it doesn't respond to telnet you are pretty sure there's nothing listening on port 9000. Something of course changed, but you need to get a log of a failed LMS startup to debug it. Fwiw my Debian OS on my server has been continuously upgraded since around 2004, through numerous hardware upgrades and I've never had to even consider a fresh install. (There are orphaned config files from a decade ago, seriously. I know, I should clean up, but I now wear this cruft with some pride! :) ) Dpkg is very good at handling upgrades.. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
