Hi,
yes using the info contained in .service units would be
a elegant solution, but they ship a lot of them (and timers,
targets, etc) so I suspect that picking the right ones
is not simple without hardcoding the names (not so elegant),
also the command lines used are different as the ones
in SysV init scripts (daemonizing, logging).
I would like to see your busybox module as I love busybox
code. I recall that something like what you propose maybe
was attempted (as a GSOC?).

Ciao,
Tito
