NAME

       systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local
       during boot and shutdown

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator

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. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the
       original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not
       translate to systemd. The script is run after network.target, but in parallel with most other regular
       system services.

       systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local exists and is executable, and if it
       is pulls the halt-local.service unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running this
       script during later shutdown.

       Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for compatibility with specific
       System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today,
       and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the
       boot or shutdown processes.

       systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
