Description Berend De Schouwer 2015-09-05 10:59:22 UTC

Description of problem:

systemd ships with rc-local.service.  This file is for backwards compatibility with /etc/rc.d/rc.local.  As shipped, 'systemctl enable rc-local.service' fails, which means that systemd-rc-local-generator also fails.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

219-21.fc22

A quick google says that it's broken since 188.


How reproducible:

very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create /etc/rc.d/rc.local
2. chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
3. systemctl enable rc-local.service (or systemd-rc-local-generator)

Actual results:

The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.


Expected results:

service enabled


Additional info:

missing:
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

tested on x86_64 and arm

rc.local is deprecated, but still very useful on some hardware.

This works for me:

[root@notas ~]# touch /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[root@notas ~]# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
[root@notas ~]# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/bash

date > /tmp/test

exit 0
[root@notas ~]# systemctl daemon-reload
[root@notas ~]# systemctl show -p WantedBy rc-local.service
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and after reboot
[root@notas ~]# cat /tmp/test
