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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532553 Title: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 15.10, amd64 systemd-225-1ubuntu9 /etc/halt.local seems to have moved to /usr/sbin/halt.local which IMO is bad for a couple of reasons. 1) This is not where it's supposed to be 2) Locally modified (non-dpkg managed) scripts under /usr is bad I have not been able to find anywhere documenting this as a decided change, so it seems like a bug to me.
