In that case we are missing documentation for the shutdown/halt procedure more than ever. Very often halt.local is where we'd do stuff like powering off UPS outlets, to handle power-outage scenarios properly. It may not have been documented or placed ideally, but AFAIKT, it's actually always worked. Without the halt-local.service, we're missing that easy hook, as I see it.
The nut package for one, does not include a systemd unit that can do the exact same thing, and to my experience, figuring out exactly which depencencies to create for a new unit tile to accomplish the same without breaking something else, is really not that well documented, or just not very easy to find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532553 Title: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Ubuntu 15.10, amd64 systemd-225-1ubuntu9 /etc/halt.local seems to have moved to /usr/sbin/halt.local which IMO is bad for a couple of reasons. 1) This is not where it's supposed to be 2) Locally modified (non-dpkg managed) scripts under /usr is bad I have not been able to find anywhere documenting this as a decided change, so it seems like a bug to me.
