NAME
systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting
/etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local during boot and shutdown
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether
/etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible
for running this script during late boot. Note that the script will be
run with slightly different semantics than the original System V
version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept
that does not translate to systemd. The script is run after
network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system
services.
systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local
exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the halt-local.service
unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running
this script during later shutdown.
Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for
compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is
strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today, and
instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any
scripts to run during the boot or shutdown processes.
systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
