I'd first create a utility script (untried code!) like this: /usr/local/sbin/BlueLedFunction.sh #!/bin/sh echo "$1" > /sys/class/leds/blue\:heartbeat/trigger Then I'd create /etc/systemd/system/BlueLedOff.service with appropriate sections to invoke that script with "none" as an argument and to run in your desired runlevel. (Take a look at the examples in /lib/systemd/system.) Then issue this to have it run at startup: systemctl enable BlueLedOff Note that custom unit files go in /etc/systemd/system to avoid having them overwritten by distro updates. You can customize existing unit files by either copying them from /lib/systemd to /etc/systemd or you can override single settings with specially-named subdirectories in /etc/systemd/system. See the unit file documentation for details.
