rc-local.service not working in Debian Stable9
I know rc.local is not encouraged, but for sake of simplicity I want to use it. I have a simple /etc/rc.local file on my Debian Stable System. But when I try following command, it does not work:
Code:
$ sudo systemctl enable rc-local.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
Subsequent status check shows:
Code:
$ sudo systemctl status rc-local.service

Where is the problem and how can it be solved? Thanks for your help. |
