30 <title>Description</title>
31
32 <para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> is a generator that checks whether
c2ee27a5
ZJS
33 <filename>&RC_LOCAL_PATH;</filename> exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
34 <filename>rc-local.service</filename> unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running
35 this script during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the
36 original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not
37 translate to systemd. The script is run after <filename>network.target</filename>, but in parallel with
38 most other regular system services.</para>
39
40 <para>Support for <filename>&RC_LOCAL_PATH;</filename> is provided for compatibility with specific System
41 V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of this script today, and instead
42 provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the boot process.
43 Note that the path to the script is set a compile time and varies between distributions.</para>
