30 | ||
31 | <para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> is a generator that checks whether | |
32 | <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the | |
33 | <filename>rc-local.service</filename> unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script | |
34 | during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V | |
35 | version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not translate to systemd. The | |
36 | script is run after <filename>network.target</filename>, but in parallel with most other regular system | |
37 | services.</para> | |
38 | ||
39 | <para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> also checks whether <filename>/usr/sbin/halt.local</filename> | |
40 | exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the <filename>halt-local.service</filename> unit into the shutdown | |
41 | process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown.</para> | |
42 | ||
43 | <para>Support for both <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> and <filename>/usr/sbin/halt.local</filename> is provided | |
44 | for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of | |
45 | these scripts today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run | |
46 | during the boot or shutdown processes.</para> | |
