NAME
       systemd-rc-local-generator, rc-local.service - Compatibility generator
       and service to start /etc/rc.local during boot

SYNOPSIS
       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator

       rc-local.service

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether
       /etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is, pulls the
       rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible
       for running this script during late boot. The script is run after
       network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system
       services.

       Note that rc-local.service runs with slightly different semantics than
       the original System V version, which was executed "last" in the boot
       process, which is a concept that does not translate to systemd.

       Also note that rc-local.service is ordered after network.target, which
       does not mean that the network is functional, see systemd.special(7).
       If the script requires a configured network connection, it may be
       desirable to pull in and order it after network-online.target with a
       drop-in:

           # /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/network.conf
           [Unit]
           Wants=network-online.target
           After=network-online.target

       Support for /etc/rc.local is provided for compatibility with specific
       System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid
       making use of this script today, and instead provide proper unit files
       with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the boot
       process. Note that the path to the script is set at compile time and
       varies between distributions.

       systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
