@me@social.taupehat.com Surely systemd has the feature already?
`Before=shutdown.target` or some such.

@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io for sure. It's just not great at handling independent, blocking tasks that need to do things in a very specific order. While there are some controls, the default behavior (and dare I say design philosophy) of systemd is "runlevel N reached: do all of its tasks at the same time!" Great if you're running a laptop or whatever braindead container format is fashionable this week, tricky at best if you're running a complex server.
