Why is it a problem that nfs-common and acpi-support are started before wb_keepalive? Or are you talking about citadel, sysklogd and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils? citadel have a bug in its header and should depend on sysklogd (#541075), and the same is the case with webcit (#541071). Thank you for bringing these bugs to my attencion. :) The scripts with the same sequence number might start in parallel, so there is no known ordering of those as long as no dependency information is documented in the init.d script header. > We need a different solution. List the scripts you want wb_keepalive to run before in its X-Start-Before header, to make sure it is started before these scripts. I note that it used to start before sysklogd, yet it uses $syslog. If you really want the daemon to start before the syslog server is available, you can use # X-Start-Before: $syslog and remove $syslog from the (Required|Should)-Start headers (to avoid a dependency loop). It would move it before all services depending on a working syslog service. You will have to decide if it make sense in this case or not.
