        What is the first line of your script? Is it "#!/bin/bash"? Is
        it marked
        as executable? Is there more information you can give as to what is
        happening?

    Here is my rc.local file, my script is the last line;

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
    # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
    # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

    touch /var/lock/subsys/local
    /home/Scripts/./dumon

Below is the entire content of my script;

xrandr --output VGA --auto --output TMDS-1 --auto --right-of VGA

This needs to be executed inside an X session. rc.local has even lessenvironment than cron, where this also will not work. This belongs in awindow manager startup script of some sort.
