[SOLVED] Run script on systemd shutdown and reboot

Question

Hello!
I am trying to log uptime on shutdown and reboot with no success.
I create the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/uptime.service:
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local.shutdown Compatibility
ConditionFileIsExecutable=/etc/rc.local.shutdown
DefaultDependencies=no
After=rc-local.service basic.target
Before=shutdown.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local.shutdown
StandardInput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target
/etc/rc.local.shutdown:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ ls -l /etc/rc.local.shutdown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 107 Out 24 12:42 /etc/rc.local.shutdown
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local.shutdown
echo "$(date) - $(/usr/bin/uptime | sed 's/.*up \([^,]*\), .*/\1/')" >> /home/jribeiro/registo_de_uptime
Any ideas?

I altered the uptime unit file:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/uptime.service
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local.shutdown Compatibility
Before=shutdown.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/true
ExecStop=/etc/rc.local.shutdown
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=shutdown.target
Then I started the uptime service manually:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ sudo systemctl start uptime
I checked the 'registo_de_uptime' file:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ cat /home/jribeiro/registo_de_uptime
Sáb Out 25 19:43:31 WEST 2014 - 2 min
After that I rebooted my system.
I checked the 'registo_de_uptime' file, again:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ cat /home/jribeiro/registo_de_uptime
Sáb Out 25 19:43:31 WEST 2014 - 2 min
Sáb Out 25 19:44:27 WEST 2014 - 3 min
Everything seems to be alright. I wanted to make the ultimate test.
With that in mind I rebooted the system.
I checked the 'registo_de_uptime' file, once more:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ cat /home/jribeiro/registo_de_uptime
Sáb Out 25 19:43:31 WEST 2014 - 2 min
Sáb Out 25 19:44:27 WEST 2014 - 3 min
No success...
It works when I start the service manually and in the right next reboot, after that it won't work.
Here is the journal's ouput:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ sudo journalctl -b -0 -u uptime
-- Logs begin at Sex 2014-10-24 22:02:03 WEST, end at Sáb 2014-10-25 20:05:29 WEST. --
By the way:
[jribeiro@arkosta ~]$ sudo systemctl status uptime
● uptime.service - /etc/rc.local.shutdown Compatibility
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/uptime.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
