[Bug 1380080] Re: Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied (convert init to upstart)

[Bharath Bhushan Lohray]

I have the following line in my crontab

@reboot sleep 20 && screen -d -S syncthing -m syncthing

I added a 20 second delay to avoid race conditions, but from the last 4
boots, I have a mail that says -

Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied

What possibly changed with my sleep?
