Weird that it doesn't work. The usual way to run scripts on startup is through systemd units though. That has the added benefits of automatically logging all output and letting you control it through commands like systemctl enable <unit name>. It's a really neat system, and I highly recommend learning it if you see yourself doing this kind of automation more often.

You can also get cron to do it.

I miss the days of just sticking it in /etc/rc.local
