Basically you have *a lot* of service daemons getting killed – some of them restart cleanly, others not – and it looks a bit like scarletdme is the one doing it. It even looks like it ended up killing itself, too.
Thank you very much. I think that explains WHAT is going on, now to find out why. But that's not your problem.
Basically, ScarletDME is an old fashioned daemon - a database backend. So you start it off as super-user with a --start option, it forks and backgrounds itself. Because the service file did not contain "Type=forking", systemd promptly ran the --stop option. Which for some reason started killing everything left right and centre!
I didn't notice it before because I wrote although I wrote the .service file, I didn't add the ExecStop. It was only when my system crashed and rebooted with the updated service file that things went wrong ... big time :-)
(And of course, as a database background daemon, it doesn't normally get shut down unless the system gets shut down.)
