What do I need to put in the [install] section, so that systemd runs /home/me/so.pl right before shutdown and also before /proc/self/net/dev gets destroyed?
[Unit]
Description=Log Traffic
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/me/so.pl
[Install]
?
linux shutdown systemd

The suggested solution is to run the service unit as a normal service - have a look at the [Install] section. So everything has to be thought reverse, dependencies too. Because the shutdown order is the reverse startup order. That's why the script has to be placed in ExecStop=.
The following solution is working for me:
[Unit]
Description=...
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
ExecStop=<your script/program>
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
RemainAfterExit=true is needed when you don't have an ExecStart action.
After creating the file, make sure to systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl enable yourservice --now.
I just got it from systemd IRC, credits are going to mezcalero.

At ubuntu 16.04 you must have aExecStart=/bin/true.

My assumption to WHYRemainAfterExit=trueis required when there is noExecStartis becausesystemdwill not attempt to runExecStopif it thinks that the service is not running.RemainAfterExit=truecausessystemdto believe that the service is running, thereby causing it to runExecStopat shutdown.

Is there anyway to ensure this script will run and complete before user sessions and user processes are terminated?
– richmb
Oct 19 '17 at 13:19
@richmb Not at all. From the docs:Note that it is usually not sufficient to specify a command for this setting that only asks the service to terminate (for example, by queuing some form of termination signal for it), but does not wait for it to do so.

As far as I can see this does what I need (but I don't know exactly why).
[Unit]
Description=Log Traffic
DefaultDependencies=no
Before=shutdown.target reboot.target halt.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/perl /home/me/log_traffic.pl --stop
Type=oneshot

It happens to work because of 2 things: 1) DefaultDependencies=no makes it ignores all dependencies and run "at first" on start and "at last" on stop, always respecting "Before" and "After" clauses. 2) It happens to have a Before clause on shutdown/reboot/halt targets, so it will run just before shutdown/reboot/halt is reached on stop (because they only run on stop it happens to do what you want).

I am not totally sure but i don't think you need the install part though i added it explicitly. I also didn't test it but i think it should help you get started:
[Unit]
Description=Log Traffic
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
Before=shutdown.target
DefaultDependencies=no
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/me/so.pl
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target

When I try this the script gets executed soon after the start (boot).

@sid_com After reading thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/4515/… try to add DefaultDependencies=no and maybe remove the install section. Otherwise it may help to remote the after/requires lines.

To run a service right before starting any of reboot/shutdown/halt/kexec services (i.e. in the last moment before root filesystem becomes remounted read-only) use this service config:
[Unit]
Description=Save system clock on shutdown
DefaultDependencies=no
After=final.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/fake-hwclock.sh save
[Install]
WantedBy=final.target
Enable it with:
systemctl enable my_service.service
To run a script right before actual reboot/shutdown/halt/kexec (when you cannot write to the root filesystem, because it was remounted read-only) add this script executable to the /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown directory.
Immediately before executing the actual system halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec systemd-shutdown will run all executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ and pass one arguments to them: either "halt", "poweroff", "reboot" or "kexec", depending on the chosen action. All executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued before all executables finished.
See:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/bootup.html

Thank you for your interest in this question.

I don't see how this will work unless you also add
WantedBy=shutdown.target reboot.target halt.target to the [Unit] section. Before= & After= don't change dependencies.– rsaw

I am not totally sure but i don't think you need the install part though i added it explicitly. I also didn't test it but i think it should help you get started:
[Unit]
Description=Log Traffic
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
Before=shutdown.target
DefaultDependencies=no
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/me/so.pl
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target

When I try this the script gets executed soon after the start (boot).

@sid_com After reading thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/4515/… try to add DefaultDependencies=no and maybe remove the install section. Otherwise it may help to remote the after/requires lines.

To run a service right before starting any of reboot/shutdown/halt/kexec services (i.e. in the last moment before root filesystem becomes remounted read-only) use this service config:
[Unit]
Description=Save system clock on shutdown
DefaultDependencies=no
After=final.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/fake-hwclock.sh save
[Install]
WantedBy=final.target
Enable it with:
systemctl enable my_service.service
To run a script right before actual reboot/shutdown/halt/kexec (when you cannot write to the root filesystem, because it was remounted read-only) add this script executable to the /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown directory.
Immediately before executing the actual system halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec systemd-shutdown will run all executables in /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ and pass one arguments to them: either "halt", "poweroff", "reboot" or "kexec", depending on the chosen action. All executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued before all executables finished.
