Start Mediaflux server on system reboot using systemd on Ubuntu Linux 16.04

1. Modify mediaflux script file from $MFLUX_HOME/bin/unix/mediaflux and install it to /etc/init.d/mediaflux.
2. create systemd unit file at /lib/systemd/system/mediaflux.service

   [Unit]
   Description=Mediaflux Server
   After=remote-fs.target
      
   [Service]
   Type=forking
   ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mediaflux start
   ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mediaflux force-stop
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

3. Enable the systemd unit (so that it is called on reboot)

   sudo systemctl enable mediaflux.service

4. Start the service manually(without reboot)

   sudo systemctl start mediaflux.service
