Dear Maintainer,

    I need to run a script at shutdown and reboot.

    Linking my script to /etc/rc0.d and rc6.d was not successful so I added
       my script to /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/.

    However, my script was never executed at shutdown or reboot.

    But it should have run. It has this contents:
       "#/bin/sh
          touch /test"

Three things:

First, your script does not have a proper shebang (missing !), use
#!/bin/sh

Second, check that the script you created is actually executable (chmod
+x ...).

Third, / might already be read-only at the time the script is run. You
need to explicitly remount / rw, i.e. something like

#!/bin/sh
mount -oremount,rw /
touch /test
mount -oremount,ro /

Thanks a lot for your answer.

1) Was a typo in the report, but not in the script.
2) Permissions were set correctly.
3) You are correct. Changing the script as you suggested made it work!

So I can confirm that it is executed and working correctly.
And this is not a bug and can be closed!

Now it seem to me that the system-shutdown folder is not the right place for my script. But my first idea to link my script to /etc/rc0.d and rc6.d was not successful (http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/347275/159562).
So I am wondering why this was not working and what to do instead?
Is a systemd .service file the only solution?
