Convert SysV Init scripts to Systemd Unit File

Let's say you have a SysV Init Script named foo

  1. Copy the file to /etc/init.d/foo

  2. Enable the SysV service: chkconfig --add foo

  3. Enable the SysV service: chkconfig foo on

  4. Start the service: service foo start. After this, systemd-sysv-generator will generate this file /run/systemd/generator.late/foo.service, copy this file to /etc/systemd/system by running: cp /run/systemd/generator.late/foo.service /etc/systemd/system/foo.service

  5. Edit /etc/systemd/system/foo.service by running systemctl edit foo.service, add in the following line to foo.servie (this makes the service installable)

[How To] Force a specific USB device to a certain TTY

Scenario:

  • multiple USB devices plugged via hub to a host (Linux OS based),
  • multiple services/programs interacting with TTY running on top (e.g. GPSd)

Problem:

At boot TTY are randomly assigned to devices causing depending services/programs instabilities. They could indeed fail to start because of different TTY configurations.

Solution:
