| As far as I can figure in my ignorance, you put the file where it needs to go in
the startup. For instance, if your product needs the network to be up before it
starts, don't put your startup file before the network startup file.
The digits are an ordering mechanism, not an assigned numbers list.

Thanks for your reply.
Re:

Yes I recognise that. Does it matter if I pick a number the same as
somebodyu elses? How do I go about picking a number? Should I just pick
a number in the S90 range eg S91 so I know that most things are already
installed? Is thus documemted somewhere?
Thanks,
Dave

| The scripts in /sbin/rc3.d are invoked by the script /sbin/rc3. The
code fragment where this happens is:
if [ -d /sbin/rc3.d ]; then
for f in /sbin/rc3.d/S*
do
if [ -s $f ]; then
/sbin/sh $f start
fi
done
fi
The order in which the rc3.d scripts get invoked can be determined
by the simulating above, by typing the following at the command line:
cd /sbin/rc3.d
echo S*
You will notice that there is no problem if multiple scripts all begin
with say S90; they will simply be enumerated in the order which the
shell does the wildcarding (which I believe is lexicographic).
