systemd-sysv-generator(8)

NAME

   systemd-sysv-generator - Unit generator for SysV init scripts

SYNOPSIS

   /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator

DESCRIPTION

   systemd-sysv-generator is a generator that creates wrapper .service
   units for SysV init[1] scripts in /etc/init.d/* at boot and when
   configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will allow
   systemd(1) to support them similarly to native units.

   LSB headers[2] in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering
   specified in the header is turned into dependencies between the
   generated unit and other units. The LSB facilities "$remote_fs",
   "$network", "$named", "$portmap", "$time" are supported and will be
   turned into dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See
   systemd.special(5) for more details.

   SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets (runlevelX.target).
   The wrapper unit that is generated will be wanted by those targets
   which correspond to runlevels for which the script is enabled.

   systemd does not support SysV scripts as part of early boot, so all
   wrapper units are ordered after basic.target.

   systemd-sysv-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
