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).
