Stefan Podkowinski resolved CASSANDRA-13437.
--------------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski

The mentioned commands have been added to the download page. We may add them at some point to the post-install scripts, if there's any user feedback or patches in that direction. Until then, I'll close this issue as resolved.

> Systemd is providing limited compatability for sysv scripts. Traditional init scripts will in this case get wrapped by a generated unit file via systemd-sysv-generator, once systemd has found such a script. But this won't happen automatically and that's why you won't be able to start Cassandra using {{systemctl start cassandra}} after installing the RPM.
> The most straight forward way to make this happen is by running {{systemctl daemon-reload}}. We could either run the command from the post-install script or ask the user to do this. My suggestion would be to *add installation instructions* to the download page specifically for RPM based packages that would stick with init.d terminology and ask the user to start Cassandra with {{service cassandra start}}. This will transperantley trigger {{systemctl daemon-reload}} and start the service.
> We should also mention to enable starting Cassandra on boot (if desired) by using {{chkconfig cassandra on}}.
