[Bug 1532553] Re: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local
This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 228-5ubuntu1
---
systemd (228-5ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Hack to support system-image read-only /etc, and modify files in
/etc/writable/ instead.
- Simpler udev maintainer scripts (all platforms must support udev, no
debconf).
- Provide shutdown fallback for upstart. (LP: #1370329)
- Add Get-RTC-is-in-local-time-setting-from-etc-default-rc.patch: In
Ubuntu we currently keep the setting whether the RTC is in local or UTC
time in /etc/default/rcS "UTC=yes|no", instead of /etc/adjtime.
(LP: #1377258)
- Chown the "systemd" controller of user scropes to the user. This makes
unprivileged user LXC containers work under systemd, together with
libpam-cgfs. (LP: #1346734)
- Build using libseccomp on powerpc and ppc64el (See Debian #800818).
Upgrade fixes, keep until 16.04 LTS release:
- systemd Conflicts/Replaces/Provides systemd-services.
- Remove obsolete systemd-logind upstart job.
- Clean up obsolete /etc/udev/rules.d/README.
- systemd.postinst: Migrate mountall specific fstab options to standard
util-linux "nofail" option.
- systemctl: Don't forward telinit u to upstart. This works around
upstart's Restart() always reexec'ing /sbin/init on Restart(), even if
that changes to point to systemd during the upgrade. This avoids running
systemd during a dist-upgrade. (LP: #1430479)
- Break lvm (<< 2.02.133-1ubuntu1) and remove our dummy /etc/init.d/lvm2
on upgrades, as it's shipped by lvm2 now.
- Make udev break on mdadm << 3.3-2ubuntu3, as udev's init script dropped
the "Provides: raid-mdadm".
- Clean up /var/log/udev on upgrade (which is written under upstart, but
not under systemd). (LP: #1537211)
- Migrate existing s390x network configuration to new names. (LP: #1526808)
systemd (228-5) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Martin Pitt ]
* Drop systemd-vconsole-setup.service: It has never been installed/used in
Debian and is not necessary for Ubuntu any more.
* Drop halt-local.service. This has never been documented/used in Debian.
(LP: #1532553)
* debian/extra/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/udev: Prefer "nuke"
again, it comes from klibc-utils. But fall back to "rm" if it does not
exist.
* systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf: Also don't run
if /usr/sbin/VBoxService exists, as virtualbox-guest-utils already
provides time synchronization with the host. (Closes: #812522)
* Drop Michael Stapelberg from Uploaders:, he stopped maintenance long ago.
Thanks Michael for your great work in the past!
* Replace "sysv-rc" dependency with Conflicts: openrc, file-rc. The
rationale from #739679 still applies, but with the moving of
{invoke,update}-rc.d to init-system-helpers we don't actually need
anything from sysv-rc any more other than the assumption that SysV init
scripts are enabled in /etc/rc?.d/ for the SysV generator to work (and
file-rc and openrc don't do that).
* debian/tests/timedated: Verify /etc/localtime symlink. Skip verifying the
/etc/timezone file (which is Debian specific) if $TEST_UPSTREAM is set.
* debian/tests/localed-locale: Check /etc/locale.conf if $TEST_UPSTREAM is
set.
* debian/tests/localed-x11-keymap: Test /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
if $TEST_UPSTREAM is set.
* debian/tests/boot-and-services: Check for reaching graphical.target
instead of default.target, as the latter is a session systemd state only.
* debian/tests/boot-and-services: Skip tests which are known to fail/not
applicable with testing upstream builds.
* Drop Fix-up-tmpfiles.d-permissions-properly.patch:
- /run/lock is already created differently by
Make-run-lock-tmpfs-an-API-fs.patch, and contradicts to that.
- /run/lock/lockdev/ isn't being used anywhere and got dropped
upstream; backport the patch (tmpfiles-drop-run-lock-lockdev.patch).
- Move dropping of "group:wheel" (which has never existed in Debian) into
debian/rules, to also catch occurrences in other parts of the file which
the static patch would overlook.
* Shorten persistent identifier for CCW network interfaces (on s390x only).
(LP: #1526808)
* debian/rules: If $TEST_UPSTREAM is set (when building/testing upstream
master instead of distro packages), don't fail on non-installed new files
or new library symbols.
* Add systemd-sysv conflict to upstart-sysv, and version the upstart
conflict. This works with both Debian's and Ubuntu's upstart packages.
[ Michael Biebl ]
* Drop support for the /etc/udev/disabled flag file. This was a workaround
for udev failing to install with debootstrap because it didn't use
invoke-rc.d and therefor was not compliant with policy-rc.d. See #520742
for further details. This is no longer

[Bug 1532553] Re: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local
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

This is indeed configurable with --with-rc-local-script-path-stop=. However, I want to make sure we actually point it to a sensible value. I can't find any reference to halt.local in Debian/Ubuntu. It seems neither sysvinit nor upstart ever supported that file, so I don't think there's any backwards compatibility issue here. http://www.linux- tutorial.info/modules.php?name=ManPage=7=init.d talks about /etc/init.d/halt.local, but that looks SuSE specific.

[Bug 1532553] Re: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local
Fair enough... As mentioned earlier, this may be from a systemv time and perhaps from Red Hat, I'm not sure. I do know that /usr/sbin/halt.local works in both Wily and in debian 8 out of the box, the file is just located in dpkg- managed space, which makes no sense. Look, I'm not actually arguing that we keep this particular file, but I think we need to keep the functionality. /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ seems to provide that functionality, but again, this is in dpkg-managed territory. Is there a user managed folder that is handled the same? If I need to create my own unit-file, I'd be happy to, but I've had a hard time figuring out the proper requiremends/dependencies/befores and afters that will make this the very last thing to run, just before the system prints "system halted". This is where the need for further documentation comes in (or perhaps I'm just too dense to find it) If you can help point me to somewhere that will allow me to figure our the correct dependencies etc for a new unit-file, I'll be happy to let this go :-) -- 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

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

Before the introduction of systemd in Debian and Ubuntu, /etc/halt.local was not supported at all. Neither sysvinit nor upstart executed that file/script. So I'm mildly suprised, when you say "it always worked". We decided to not introduce support for this legacy, sysv specific service, which after a bit of research seems to be Redhat (/sbin/halt.local) and SuSE (/etc/init.d/halt.local) specific. Adding /etc/halt.local to the mix would only confuse things.
