That's a command for SysV init scripts, not for systemd units.

After adding an unit file for a service you run the following commands:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable wwsympa.service
systemctl start wwsympa.service

Try

systemctl cat wwsympa.service

to find out what systemd knows about your unit.
