systemd系统开机运行rc.local

原文出处: https://xugaoxiang.com/2019/12/05/systemd-rc-local-on-boot/

软硬件环境

• ubuntu 18.04 64bit
• anaconda with python 3.6

问题描述

在使用较新版本的ubuntu系统中发现，原来写入/etc/rc.local文件中的开机命令不执行了?经过一番研究，发现原来ubuntu自16.０４版本后就不再使用initd管理系统，而改用systemd

分析问题

通过systemctl命令查看rc-local的状态

sudo systemctl status rc-local

输出错误信息

● rc-local.service - /etc/rc.local Compatibility
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled-runtime; vendor preset: enabled)

在systemd中使能rc-local服务

sudo systemctl enable rc-local

输出错误信息

xugaoxiang@ubuntu:~$ sudo systemctl enable rc-local
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.

大意是说rc-local服务文件中没有Install字段的相关信息，如WantedBy、RequiredBy、Also、Alias。如果不写呢，系统就不认为它是一个systemd服务。

修复问题

默认的service文件都是存在与/etc/systemd/system目录下，有点像某种服务的配置文件。注意到/lib/systemd/system下也有个rc-local.service，我们借用这个模板来进行修改，当然你也可以从头开始编写

sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service

修改内容如下，主要是添加Install字段信息

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
Documentation=man:systemd-rc-local-generator(8)
ConditionFileIsExecutable=/etc/rc.local
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes
GuessMainPID=no

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

其中Unit字段主要描述服务的启动顺序以及依赖关系，Service字段主要描述如何启动，Install字段描述如何安装这个服务。ubuntu 18.04系统默认已经将/etc/rc.local文件移除了，因此，我们需要手动创建一个，并将需要开机执行的命令写入到文件中，如

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/sslocal -c /home/xugaoxiang/Tools/ss/ss.json &

同样的，别忘了，给/etc/rc.local加上可执行的权限

sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local

然后执行

xugaoxiang@ubuntu:~$ sudo systemctl enable rc-local
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rc-local.service → /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.

接着启动这个服务并查看它的状态

sudo systemctl start rc-local.service
sudo systemctl status rc-local.service

命令输出如下

● rc-local.service - /etc/rc.local Compatibility
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
  Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d

           └─10811 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/sslocal -c /home/xugaoxiang/Tools/ss/ss.json

可以看到rc.local中的脚本已经被正确执行了。
