Thanks for your reply, I tried this before but could not make it work as I wanted to. If I remember well, the service kept starting during boot instead of shutdown. After struggling with it I found this page: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39226/how-to-run-a-script-with-systemd-right-before-shutdown which seems to work, except I could not find any ways to control the ordering/dependencies. I'll try again as you suggest,
Thanks, David.
