Thanks! Many thanks!
I or we used SysV Unix flavor and I am not sure if 'find' had 'exec' or not but I never used it. I use Linux (Ubuntu) now but thankfully Bash tolerates me dropping back to SysV type stuff. I want to get my SysV chops back then migrate forward into the brave new world, LOL.
Also I will use the code wrapper from now own when notating code like...

Code:
rm -rf /*

Wait, holy ... kidding. Oh, I also related to the cpio example... did that too.
Thank you all again!!

SYSTEMD-SYSV-GENERATOR(8)				      systemd-sysv-generator					 SYSTEMD-SYSV-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-sysv-generator - Unit generator for SysV init scripts

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-sysv-generator is a generator that creates wrapper .service units for SysV init[1] scripts in /etc/init.d/* at boot and when
       configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will allow systemd(1) to support them similarly to native units.

       LSB headers[2] in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified in the header is turned into dependencies between the
       generated unit and other units. The LSB facilities "$remote_fs", "$network", "$named", "$portmap", "$time" are supported and will be turned
       into dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See systemd.special(5) for more details.

       SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets (runlevelX.target). The wrapper unit that is generated will be wanted by those targets
       which correspond to runlevels for which the script is enabled.

       systemd does not support SysV scripts as part of early boot, so all wrapper units are ordered after basic.target.

       systemd-sysv-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
