That isn't quite true. The order is specified. The services are started by /etc/rc.d/rc which starts them in a loop, using this syntax: for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/S*; do This will result in the services being started in ascii-betical order if your internationalization environment variables are all unset, or in the order specified by LC_COLLATE if it is set, or by LANG if it is set and LC_COLLATE isn't. Since the names of those files are all S[:digit:][:digit:]servicename where servicename is all lowercase English alphabetic characters, the files will always start in the order specified by the digits, then by the alphabetical order of the service name. The only possible exception to that is if you're using a language whose alphabet sorts the subset of itself which is the English alphabet in a different order than the English alphabet does. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
