X-Git-Tag: v237~174^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=245992a0c0f44283e003b4be9575b64ed891f4ef;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fsystemd.git

man: add a systemd-rc-local-generator(8) man page

Most importantly, let's highlight the differences to the rc-local
behaviour in SysV.

Fixes: #7703

+
+    <para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> is a generator that checks whether
+    <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
+    <filename>rc-local.service</filename> 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 <filename>network.target</filename>, but in parallel with most other regular system
+    services.</para>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> also checks whether <filename>/usr/sbin/halt.local</filename>
+    exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the <filename>halt-local.service</filename> unit into the shutdown
+    process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown.</para>
+
+    <para>Support for both <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> and <filename>/usr/sbin/halt.local</filename> 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.</para>
