It looks like xrandr requires connecting to an X server. When run from rc.local, it does not have one. This is one of the things that can cause scripts that work fine when you are logged in to fail when run in startup scripts or cron jobs. Another thing to watch out for is that the environment is not the same when running from the init scripts or a cron job.*/Barry Yu <barryyu-cts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: */Paul Lemmons <paul.lemmons@xxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: ------- Original Message -------- Subject: Working script won't work in rc.local From: Barry Yu To: Fedora list Date: 02/18/2008 09:10 AM > My working script won't work at startup when I inserted it into > rc.local - It works perfectly in terminal when I manually execute it > there.

When you run the script from an xterm, DISPLAY is set, and you have the proper authorization to connect to the X server.
