It has two purposes: + + * For every rc script in /etc/rc.d/ a wrapper service file is created which will start and stop + daemons by calling the corresponding rc script. In case a native systemd service file exists + with the same name, the legacy one is ignored and the native one is used instead. + * The DAEMONS array in rc.conf is parsed and every daemon that appears there is enabled at boot. + Furthermore, the ordering dependencies specified in the DAEMONS array is respected (including + backgrounding). + +Note: this is meant as a compatibility layer only for the purposes of easing users' transition +from initscripts to systemd. You are strongly encouraged to not rely on this, but rather use +native systemd services. + +SEE ALSO +-------- + +rc.conf(5), systemd(1) + +AUTHORS +------- +Written by Tom Gundersen. |
