Hi & Thanks,
Setup: Pi Zero 2 W / Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64 bit (flashed within the last 2 weeks)
Description of problem: previously sketch was executing on startup. After reflashing SD card noted that rc.local did not exist. Recreated rc.local containing two lines of code:
python /home/pi/cam.py
exit 0
executed sudo chmod 777 /etc/rc.local
confirmed properties of rc.local showed all permission bits set
wrote very simple sketch that endlessly logged 1 second count to file (saved as cam.py)
tested via ssh and PuTTY - works
execute reboot
sudo killall python display “python: no process found”
examination of log file shows no entry
Info: several weeks ago, after reflashing SD card, noted that rc.local did not exist but was able to successfully recreate it and its functionality. Overlay file system has not been enabled.
