## NAME
       systemd-sysv-generator - Unit generator for SysV init scripts

## SYNOPSIS
       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator

## DESCRIPTION
       systemd-sysv-generator is a generator that creates wrapper .service units for **SysV** **init**[1]
       scripts in /etc/init.d/* at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded.
       This will allow [**systemd**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd/1/markdown) to support them similarly to native units.

       **LSB** **headers**[2] in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified in the header
       is turned into dependencies between the generated unit and other units. The LSB facilities
       "$remote_fs", "$network", "$named", "$portmap", "$time" are supported and will be turned into
       dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See [**systemd.special**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd.special/7/markdown) for more details.

       SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets (runlevel_X_.target). The wrapper unit that
       is generated will be wanted by those targets which correspond to runlevels for which the
       script is enabled.

       **systemd** does not support SysV scripts as part of early boot, so all wrapper units are ordered
       after basic.target.

       systemd-sysv-generator implements [**systemd.generator**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd.generator/7/markdown).
