Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS 

At the command prompt this succeeds: 

screen
-dmS newscreen mc 

It creates a detached screen session with mc alive
and well within! 

But dump the exact same command in /etc/rc.local and
now screen 

doesn't start at boot??? Remove the command (in this case
"mc") 

and screen is started detached successfully. What is going on
here?
