It has not been removed. The standard behavior changed slightly, but as
mentioned this can be configured to revert to the default.

Yes, my bad, as you've probably already discovered. :-)

I figured that, atleast the rc.local bit. There's no exec line that can
be used in the tmpfiles.d either in arch or full systemd then running it
at the same stage of init, just out of interest. I know there is one
for getty I'm just not sure if it can apply to all unit files.

I'm really not sure what you are asking here, so bear with me...

The tmpfiles.d fragment is documented in the tmpfiles.d(5)[0] and the
tmpfiles utility is documented in systemd-tmpfiles(8)[1].

Both in systemd and initscripts we call "/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles
--clean" to clean up old files.

If you want to add your own custom stuff instead then in initscripts
you'd make a hook (as before) and in systemd you'd add a .service file
[2].

HTH,

Tom

So there actually is man page for the systemd-tmpfiles. It is missing
from the systemd-tools, instead it is in systemd package. I'll create
a bug report for that later.

If it had been there, I wouldn't have asked this question at all, as
everything necessary is mentioned in the manpage.

Fair enough and Thanks.

I'll likely find out more about systemd malleability in due course some
time anyway. I just don't use the system with it very often.
