'systemctl status' doesn't run rtirq, it displays the status of the
service. If you run 'rtirq status' it doesn't show the status of the
service.

However, everything is ok with the generated unit, so the culprit most
likely is, that you need another release of rtirq or another release of
the kernel.

There are no issues with

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ uname -r
4.8.11-1-ARCH
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q rtirq
rtirq 20150216-1
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ rtirq status | head -3

  PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND
  292 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/18-snd_hdsp

I don't understand why you call it a good job. Upstream provides rtirq
for systemd usage.

They don't need to "port" the script, they only need to package a unit.
It's even not required to write the 10 simple lines of the unit, since
it's already provided by upstream,
http://www.rncbc.org/jack/rtirq-20150216.tar.gz .
IOW your distro migrated to systemd and packages software from
upstream as an init script, while it already is for usage with systemd.
This is idiotic, since it takes extra work to package it as an init
script, while it is no extra work, to simply copy it from upstream.

I'm not discussing systemd here, I discuss irrational package
maintenance.

How could you call this a good job? I call it sabotage to package
software from upstream, providing everything for systemd usage, as an
init script, for a distro that migrated to systemd. AFAIK you won't find
it for other distros, I suspect that this is an issue for Debian and
Ubuntu only.

Arch Linux:

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Ql rtirq
rtirq /etc/
rtirq /etc/conf.d/
rtirq /etc/conf.d/rtirq
rtirq /usr/
rtirq /usr/bin/
rtirq /usr/bin/rtirq
rtirq /usr/lib/
rtirq /usr/lib/systemd/
rtirq /usr/lib/systemd/system/
rtirq /usr/lib/systemd/system/rtirq.service
