System Administration

Add systemd service to replace rc.local

Here is the suggestion:

• Reference systemd service for replacing rc.local

Add the following to the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service:

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=-/etc/rc.local
TimeoutSec=0
StandardInput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Call whatever script you want to run in /etc/rc.local and use systemctl to enable rc-local.service at boot time.
