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:
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
- The executable the service file points to:
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
- Make it executable:
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
- And enable the service to start during boot:
systemctl enable rc-local
- And start the service
systemctl start rc-local
- You can view the status of the service with:
systemctl status rc-local
