No, in English, as usual (my whole system is in English, mainly to avoid translations, and this is also better for bug reports). The rc-local.service(8) man page says: Also note that rc-local.service is ordered after network.target, which does not mean that the network is functional, see systemd.special(7). If the script requires a configured network connection, it may be desirable to pull in and order it after network-online.target with a drop-in: # /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/network.conf [Unit] Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target "After=network-online.target" is actually what /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/debian.conf does. So the user may be surprised that /etc/rc.local is not run earlier enough (or not run at all if the network is down when the machine is booted?). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
