you can test easily enough on a local vm. previously output of things run in rc.local went to wherever /dev/console went.
that meant if you ran 'echo hello world' from rc.local when 'console=ttyS0' on the kernel command line, you'd dsee 'hello world' on the serial console. this is important to maintain for automated testing and I would suspect for real world use cases where people write some human friendly status or information from /etc/rc.local. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1468102 Title: rc.local output does not go to console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1468102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
