The rc-local service works just fine. Yes, in this case it might have been possible to give a better error message, but that's not clear since the rc.local file was an invalid executable. And of course, just as with pulseaudio, systemd does not give meaningful or useful error messages. I don't know what you're doing, but I haven't had any issues with pulseaudio in years. It's a huge improvement on Linux audio. As with any software, there are still some bugs and ways to improve, but both systemd and pulseaudio make the Linux experience way better than it used to be. New software does require some learning and if you're not happy with that, then Fedora is probably not the right distribution for you... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

So you must sacrifice the correct animal, at the exactly correct time, for it to work. And of course, just as with pulseaudio, systemd does not give meaningful or useful error messages. Since most items in rc.local are run-one-time items, the answer is to NOT USE SYSTEMD.

The '#!' notation has meaning ONLY if it is the first two characters of the file. Otherwise it is just a shell comment. From the command line you are probably running bash. Thus the script gets executed by the shell you want. But during boot it may be executed by a different shell and that shell may not deal with some constructs the same as bash. Jon -- Jon H.

Starting and shutting down specific services should be totally at the discretion of the user/administrator even during system normal operations. Apparently you did not know about the stop command and are making incorrect assertion. From the man page of systemctl, unit commands can be: start NAME... Start (activate) one or more units specified on the command line. stop NAME... Stop (deactivate) one or more units specified on the command line. reload NAME... Asks all units listed on the command line to reload their configuration. Note that this will reload the service-specific configuration, not the unit configuration file of systemd. If you want systemd to reload the configuration file of a unit, use the daemon-reload command. In other words: for the example case of Apache, this will reload Apache's httpd.conf in the web server, not the apache.service systemd unit file. This command should not be confused with the daemon-reload command. restart NAME... Restart one or more units specified on the command line. If the units are not running yet, they will be started. try-restart NAME... Restart one or more units specified on the command line if the units are running. This does nothing if units are not running. Note that, for compatibility with Red Hat init scripts, condrestart is equivalent to this command. reload-or-restart NAME... Reload one or more units if they support it. If not, restart them instead.

Executing rc.local file "by hand" works without errors and moreover the required command is fulfilled ie. in my case: # iptables -L | grep ssdp ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp spt:ssdp In the /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service I can read: # This unit gets pulled automatically into multi-user.target by # systemd-rc-local-generator if /etc/rc.d/rc.local is executable. It is exactly what I have done: making /etc/rc.d/rc.local executable (and owned by root.root) and it does not work! Is there somewhere a place where I can get some information about the error? "Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since sam. 2016-09-03 22:49:00" is a very tiny explanation!

Maybe I mis-phrased my question: is the one executable line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local identical to the one on the box that works, and if not, is the difference a possible cause of problems? If that's not an issue, consider adding 2>/var/log/rc_errors.txt to that line to preserve the exact error messages. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
