I'm surprised that works. I used to have that sort of thing
directly in rc.local, then they converted the code that runs
rc.local to a systemd unit which "helpfully" killed things that
were taking "too long", so I switched to an "at" command to run
a different script "now", and moved all my delays into the different
script (which is now running out from under the thumb of systemd).
