Hi

I am an old timer....new to systemd
I have no /etc/rc.local

It appears this post a bit old I admit UM did have it in the past

  1. It appears we may be able to create and use it such as by info in this link
    /etc/rc.local does not exist anymore - but does it still work?

eg from link

sudo echo '#!/bin/bash
some command
exit 0 ' > /etc/rc.local

make it executable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

create a systemd service for it
sudo systemctl restart rc-local

check it is enabled etc
sudo systemctl status rc-local

Please see -

It's worth reading even if you decide to go with creating /etc/rc.local.
