nosh 1.12 comes with a collection of some 177 pre-built service bundles.
As I said to the FreeBSD people, I have a goal of making the 155
service bundles that should replace most of FreeBSD rc.d . (There are a
load of non-FreeBSD bundles in there, including ones for VirtualBox
services, OpenStack, RabbitMQ, and so forth. This is why I haven't
reached 155 even though I've made 177.)
It also comes with a tool for importing system service and socket units
into service bundles. And the nosh Guide chapter on creating service
bundles has pointers to the run file collections by Gerrit Pape, Wayne
Marshall, Kevin J. DeGraaf, and Glenn Strauss.

Incidental note: I just added another service bundle, for nagios, to
version 1.13 because of this:
