Run a command right before a qube/vm shutdown

@ady29

now I need to run a different command to umount the sftp folder when the qube/vm is going to shutdown.

Is that not working automatically for you? Shutting down a VM sends a SIGTERM signal to the sshfs process, which should normally cause it to unmount.

Edit: Ah okay, since you’re running sshfs from rc.local I guess it’s possible that it would receive the SIGTERM signal after the network has already been stopped.

Edit 2:

Automount an sftp folder in appVM

Come to think of it, it would be better to run the sshfs command in rc.local through systemd-run. This way the ordering on network.target can be properly declared (= no need for the sleep line) so that it will also be reversed when it’s time to automatically unmount during VM shutdown. For example: systemd-run --service-type=forking --uid=user -p Wants=network.target -p After=network.target sshfs ...
