I wrote the following command to the rc.local file:

nmcli dev wifi connect xyz password "abc"

where xyz is the SSID and abc is the password.
However, the command is not executed.
Is it ignored?

But if I change to the /etc/rc.d/ directory and run the rc.local file, the nmcli command works as expected.

Does anyone have an explanation?
What can I do?
Thanks

In the meantime, I had an intuitive idea of my own:
I put the command sleep 3 in front of it.
Now it's working.

An interesting approach.
