Thanks for your reply, I tried this before but could not make it work as I wanted to. If I remember well, the service kept starting during boot instead of shutdown. After struggling with it I found this page: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39226/how-to-run-a-script-with-systemd-right-before-shutdown which seems to work, except I could not find any ways to control the ordering/dependencies. I'll try again as you suggest,
Thanks,
David.

You should probably just use an ExecStart= (not with the stop you are currently using), have it WantedBy=shutdown.target, and Before= any service which you depend on to still be available

Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
ExecStart=/usr/bin/true
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetThe script does run after shutdown is initiated but since it relies on other services which are also shutting down, it fails. Is there a way to order the shutdown so that myscript.sh is completed first before continuing with the shutdown?Thanks!David.
