It will be run according to the status of the rc-local service - i.e. what does systemctl status rc-local say. It's enabled by default, but it only runs if rc.local is executable (as defined in the [Unit] section). > > 2. Why Type=forking? Err, because it forks! (i.e. it can leave processes running after the script has finished executing.) P.
