Two things that often cause rc.local failures: 1. Having a different $PATH as root than as your normal user. 2. If you are trying to start a long running process (Like launch a daemon), the "new and improved" systemd will helpfully kill it off for you shortly after it is started. This has led me to transform my rc.local script into this: /usr/bin/at -M now <<'HERE' > /dev/null 2>&1 /etc/rc.d/the-real-rc.local HERE Then move everything I used to be able to put in rc.local into the-real-rc.local instead (sheesh!) Oh yea, silliest thing to check: Is rc.local executable, does the first line start with #!/bin/sh ? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RBLVKZND5RXNWGPQ53YAT57W4EVBXUAL/
