I am confused why you would want persistence for these objects in any
operating system. Could you show us the relevant errors you are getting
when rebooting?

You mentioned SELinux. Is the problem that you have SELinux enabled and the
packages that you are using do not come with an appropriate SELinux policy
making them unable to open sockets / write pid files? Which SELinux context
are these applications running in?
