systemd-sysv-generator systemd Documentation Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek zbyszek@in.waw.pl systemd-sysv-generator 8 systemd-sysv-generator Unit generator for SysV init scripts /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator Description systemd-sysv-generator is a generator that creates wrapper .service units for SysV init scripts in /etc/init.d/* at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will allow systemd1 to support them similarly to native units. LSB headers in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified in the header is turned into dependencies between the generated unit and other units. LSB facilities $remote_fs, $network, $named, $portmap, $time are supported and will be turned into dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See systemd.special5 for more details. SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets (runlevelX.target). Wrapper unit that is generated will be wanted by those targets which correspond to runlevels for which the script is enabled. systemd does not supports SysV scripts as part of early boot, so all wrapper units are ordered after basic.target. systemd-sysv-generator implements systemd.generator7.
