Hi,

I noticed some time ago that rc.local became a service. I'm just getting around to address this issue but am having trouble getting my fedora 41 system to "notice" my efforts.

Do you mean f40?

Can someone post what they're doing to implement this new way of doing things, please?

I write systemd services for things that in the past would have gone into rc.local. What do you have in your rc.local that could be converted?

Also I do not use crontab any more, I replaced with systemd timer units.

Best regards,

as already said, you need to create a file named rc.local under /etc/rc.d rights (here) are: sudo ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.local -rwx------. 1 root root 5298 10. Apr 15:20 /etc/rc.d/rc.local

my content here is mostly stuff powertop told me to set:

exit 0; ===================================================

don't know is the first line "touch /var/lock/subsys/local" is still needed (it was in elder rc.local present), but it doesn't hurt (here).

to my understanding the systemd service "rc-local.service" just picks up the file and excutes the content of /etc/rc.d/rc.local

sudo systemctl restart rc.local or a reboot
