Probably.

Sxx services are started in ascending order of xx, so an S39 script
can assume that S01, S02, S03, ... S38 scripts have been run, but
S40 on will not have been run.

Most numbers should work. Just make sure that syslog (usually
S10syslog or S10sysklog) starts first, and that networking is set
up (this is usually done before any rc2 scripts are run).
Basically, if it works, leave it.
Steven Smith,
