If you can, please show us your /etc/rc.d/rc.local contents and file
permissions. But that's weird, because I think usually it would give
an error on starting up.

^ you have a " " here that shouldn't be there.

Should be simply: "#!/bin/sh"

That was my theory too.... But I like to test my theories.... So I created an
rc.local file with the following contents...

#! /bin/sh -e

#exit 0

touch /tmp/XXXX

and it worked just fine....

Blush! The # is where it should be. Just a copy error.

Not as many as you like - I think the exec() service looks
only at about the first 32 characters or something like that.

I stand corrected.

So, why are you restarting nfs services there?

The synclient won't work as rc.local has no connection to your DISPLAY
to make changes.

How else are you seeing that commands there aren't running?

Thanks for the tip on synclient

Restarting nfs services is being done because that was necessary in
order to get a connection from the client. Admittedly that was several
kernels ago :-)

Yeah, that seems odd. I'd just let systemd start them and then if
something is not working, track that down and fix it.
