You can create a service that runs your shell script at boot. I think it would be something like this: /etc/systemd/system/a-name-you-want.service [Unit] Description=a-name-you-want [Service] ExecStart=/path-to-your-script [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target 2012/7/28 jsteel

Hi,

Can systemd run a bash script at/after boot without having to install initscripts-systemd for compatibility with rc.local? I assume initscripts-systemd will be depreciated eventually so wonder if there is a native way to do this, or if this is the workaround for now.

Thanks,

jsteel

There *is* a service available that looks like it would execute rc.local. According to the Arch wiki, there is an initscripts-systemd package and and "/etc/rc.local and /etc/rc.local.shutdown can be run at startup and shutdown by enabling rc-local.service and rc-local-shutdown.service." The package is not recommended but it exists. - -- David Benfell benfell@parts-unknown.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQFMS9AAoJELT202JKF+xpaxMP/iCqs6eH4GwXBbIPaGEda4yr uKCUDs5MI4HIqIOm0wi1uiKqpPuIunsxRTWXJrPpNjQiqZ//tBjntd5RnvakhMwm QSs6ugmf9CXgEmg5HuSI+HExioUUcMH2jwXLQSLlqbKL4NscWkZkrNkPP9WpYWgU yg+kTVmYUyApUT2agBWR9sgkCwY+fqGZntfSVsZM3pPJcqcFQpoMWo02hJ0V6wLb qfZe83b3OeN2R/sM8uB0FsORM9vpQHgyMuJHLT+MSodlBAb/IaLahFhPnxmjEGEG Dhnt+Vw5wsSZ16EFLl5CMb+AFXsmCfIL2iPZe6oqQrW9cJJUiP283TH1yzgVQuQJ ULskw+jrDzJYSyQsees7fwZWBPrgdQgezZFwGjpAHICKvBnbAP1GppxwQAnoF9w2 WgjNSfjCApZQmFXXm1bJ+lrvK7SBdPM14IfcySzIpSU1qexg/hHdj+rmKPsYB1sg 4PwJshP6tmAkPUc94DHXHxyPG1sZAjZYoYyOFEbHdn2uncHIHJHkUnq10pSlZwkB o1rxqYJa/hohjn+H4QPkxtp+UfIJFe4yUIKQjs3ol309pwi6qeIc9ySz0fm7/jxM DWVPzvoyR9hD4tTGbEJAHfaxCcPdCNdG5b+91z6dkY4gxAdfvF94EXCzSZwp+Uti ygEsQQr4aX2KeU4vt0v7 =XPdq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
