SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8) systemd-rc-local-generator SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-rc-local-generator, rc-local.service - Compatibility generator and service to
start /etc/rc.local during boot
SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator
rc-local.service
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. The script is run after
network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system services.
Note that rc-local.service runs with slightly different semantics than the original System
V version, which was executed "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not
translate to systemd.
Also note that rc-local.service is ordered after network.target, which does not mean that
the network is functional, see systemd.special(7). If the script requires a configured
network connection, it may be desirable to pull in and order it after
network-online.target with a drop-in:
# /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/network.conf
[Unit]
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
Support for /etc/rc.local is provided for compatibility with specific System V systems
only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of this script today, and
instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run
during the boot process. Note that the path to the script is set at compile time and
varies between distributions.
systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
