[systemd-devel] Cannot get Shutdown Script to Run (Libvirt Virtual Machine Shutdown)

[Alexander Groleau]

I have tried the traditional ExecStart, ExecStop all in one script with no
luck (with RemainAfterExit=yes, etc.). I just can't seem to get it to run
in this daemon SIGTERM section :(. I hate how on my system, libvirtd is
literally the first thing to go down, making this quite tricky.

What might I try to use for the WantedBy instead? I thought
DefaultDependencies=no
removed the standard conflict with shutdown.target.

Thanks for your response. Any other suggestions? :)
