<br>
</span>Because the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script does not have your login<br>
environment. The odds are that the path to one or more of your commands<br>
is missing. If you want to prove this, modify your script to do<br>
something like<br>
<br>
echo $PATH >/tmp/path.txt<br>
<br>
and reboot. Compare the contents of /tmp/path.txt and "echo $PATH" at<br>
the command line and I'll bet the paths are different.<br>
<br>
This is incredibly common for startup scripts and crontab entries. If<br>
you wish to avoid them, ensure you have a "PATH=" command in the top<br>
of your script or specify the full path to each command inside the<br>
script:<br>
<br>
/usr/bin/rsync........<br>
<br>
NOT<br>
<br>
rsync.....<br>
<br>
because "/usr/bin" may NOT be in the crontab or initscript's PATH.<br>
