====== Services - rc.local ======
  * This section describes how to create a service file. As an example we use the re-creation of rc.local in Debian 10:<code>sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local
ConditionFileIsExecutable=/etc/rc.local
After=network.target
 
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
StandardOutput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
GuessMainPID=no
SysVStartPriority=99
 
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
</code>
  * The executable the service file points to:<code>sudo vim /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
 
exit 0
</code>
  * Make it executable:<code>chmod +x /etc/rc.local</code>
  * And enable the service to start during boot:<code>systemctl enable rc-local</code>
  * And start the service<code>systemctl start rc-local</code>
  * You can view the status of the service with:<code>systemctl status rc-local</code>
