The service file for that looks like this: [Unit] Description=Media check on %f DefaultDependencies=no Before=shutdown.target [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=no ExecStart=/bin/checkisomd5 --verbose %f StandardInput=tty-force StandardOutput=inherit StandardError=inherit TimeoutSec=0 You can look at commits 040f3883 and 5204d1d3 in dracut to see how it is setup. -- Brian C.
