Rather than pointing to the documentation online, include the
documentation here.
The main point with the documentation is to point out that these
things should not be used.

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. |
