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 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
