rc.local does not execute at startup.

[ozgurerdogan]

I need to automount sshfs so I added needed line to rc.local file.
My problem is only the rc.local not executing (although it is 755 and so should be executed). I don't have the map problem.
if I run "/etc/rc.local" from shell, it correctly executes! It just doesn't run at boot

You are sure the network is available when rc.local is executed?

Yes thats why I add it to rc.local instead of fstab. As per here section 3.2

I am not interested in what you have read but what you have actually observed. If you are using bond(s) an established network can be delayed until after rc.local is executed.

I am not using bond. Just want to auto mount sshfs. Do you have better way ?

This is a old thread, but it puped up on google. I also found how to enable rc.local on proxmox :

The mount could also be done directly via /etc/fstab, so this rc.local hack is nice but unecessary.

It may be due to lack of execution bit.
Do this:

# chmod +x /etc/rc.local

# chmod +x /etc/rc.local

BTW, don't forget the following single line at the top of the rc.local file:

#!/bin/sh -e

And, don't forget the following single line at the end of the rc.local file:

exit 0

If you forget them, the OS won't run the whole of script!
