.SH "NAME"
systemd-rc-local-generator \- Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc\&.local and /usr/sbin/halt\&.local during boot and shutdown
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
/lib/systemd/system\-generators/systemd\-rc\-local\-generator
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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\&.
