Well, the intended mode of operation here is that services that are started at boot are shut down at shutdown. Hence normally you would place any code you want to run at shutdown in the ExecStop= of the service in question. A number of services are run only at shutdown, and have no counterpart at boot-up. These are "special", and live outside the default depndency logic, and need to be marked with DefaultDependencies=no for that. When exactly they are run depends on how you configure things. One possible option here is to order them between shutdown.target and final.target, which makes the server to be started after all normal services are shut down, but before we actually do the low-level termination. If such a service shell complete before we continue with the shut down you need to use Type=oneshot. > Before=shutdown.service halt.service There is no shutdown.service. And halt.service is most likely not what you want to use, since it's responsible for actually halting the machine (as opposed to reboot or power it off) > DefaultDependencies=no > > [Service] > ExecStart=/etc/init.d/my_shutdown start This is not a SysV script, you should not place it in this directory. > Type=oneshot > RemainAfterExit=true RemainAfterExit= makes little sense here.
