With v204, it's better to use "systemctl enable rc-local.service" or to create a symlink in "/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/" (the systemctl command does that). With v208, there's a generator, "/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator", that creates a symlink at boot in "/run/systemd/generator/multi-user.target.wants/" so you don't need the above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
