Did you check if rc.local is executable?

I don't get the /share/master.pd what is it supposed to do in this command?

or similar, here pi is the user, the & means pd runs in the background.

I usually keep a script at /share/initialise then call it as user pi, it makes it a lot easier to keep different projects ans swap between them.

there's no /share/initialise file or directory... should I create it? And then should I put my script there and call it from rc.local? For example 'sudo -u pi -i sh /share/initialise/launch_pd.sh' is any good (supposing I write a script called launch_pd.sh which launches Pd and open the desired patch...)?

I put 'sudo -u pi -i /usr/local/bin/pd -nogui -open ~/pd_patches/load_test.pd' in rc.local but again it didn't work...
