rc.local not start at the boot

I would say that this thread is the continuation of a my preceding thread :

“selecting some kind of files using the resync command”


 There I got help in order to make the backup of some my critical files.

Now I am able to backing up these files using a shell script from the line
command.

But I would like also that this backup runs automatically when the computer
boots.


 I know that this task is performed by the rc.local file, in Linux.

Ed Greshko gave me a link about an announcement of Fedora concerning
rc.local ....

 there is wrote :

- - - - - - - - - -

The /etc/rc.d/rc.local local customization script is no longer included by
default. Administrators who need this functionality merely have to create
this file, make it executable, and it will run on boot.

- - - - - - - - - -


 After I read this announcement, I create the the file rc.local and I made
it executable:

[angelo_dev at zorro rc.d]$ ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.local

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1262 Oct 27 12:18 /etc/rc.d/rc.local


 But, doing some tests, I saw that the scripts stored inside rc.local not
run at boot, ...on my computer.


 I would like to have some advice concerning the way to manage tests, in
order to understand because the content of rc.local is not executed at the
start... and to obtain that scripts run at the boot
