If you'd still like to continue using /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and it would
be
enough for it to be executed "after boot", IOW, after the default
runlevel at boot is reached, the following four commands might help
you:
$ cat >/tmp/order-last.conf <<EOConf
[Unit]
After=default.target
[Service]
StandardOutput=journal+console
StandardError=journal+console
EOConf
$ mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/
$ mv /tmp/order-last.conf /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/
$ systemctl daemon-reload
Then, make sure `rc-local.service` is enabled.
default.target should be a symlink to another target, likely multi-user
or graphical.
Did you test this yourself? I couldn't get it to work. If I don't
disable systemd-rc-local-generator,
it'll create a multi-user.target.wants for rc-local.service in
/run/systemd.
rc-local.service is also referenced in multiple other service files in
/usr/lib/systemd/system.
I arrived into this following config that is now working:
1)
# /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/override.conf
[Unit]
After=systemd-user-sessions.service
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
2)
mkdir /root/systemd
mv /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator
/root/systemd/
ln -s /dev/null
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator
3)
chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.local
systemctl enable rc-local.service
As one Red Hat employee once said: "And I'm pretty sure that the people
who still insist
on using it would shout at us very loudly if rc-local.service were
removed...".
I hope rc-local.service can be kept in systemd in the future.
Best regards,
Aki
P.S. My hunch was correct and rc.local is now
(After=systemd-user-sessions.service) ran after crond.
