Hmmm I can't seem to find it documented anywhere, but last time I needed this to work was in the good old sysvinit days and it may have even been on a different distro. Sorry for not brushing thoroughly up on this, prior to filing this bug.
I have checked with CentOS 7 and it has the halt.local placed in /usr/sbin/halt.local as well In any case, this is part of the rc-local type magic that systemd performs and with rc.local in /etc/rc.local, one could argue, that it makes sense for these scripts to be located together. But more importantly, user-maintained stuff in /usr/sbin/ is just bad practice and we should not encourage people to do that. /T -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532553 Title: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1532553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
