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. > How should I chose the number? Is any random number - like the > one I have chosen - sufficient? 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.
