Upon booting, the LEAF-WRAP box loads it's kernel, mounts drives (Compact Flash here) and gets the packages. These are then started according to priorities in /etc/init.d/ , as you rightly pointed out. Sadly my internet provider (t-online) seems to require a delay after disconnecting (this is not documented anywhere, I just found it by trial and error). Without a minute or two delay, the pppoe logon is refused several times until the persistence of the LEAF box wins and a logon is achieved. Unfortunately ntpdate and ntpsimpl have given up all hope of getting to an internet server and exited by then.
While investigating, I visited the ntp.org site and found that they now deprecate ntpdate, preferring ntpd -g as a replacement. This is the standard in LEAF anyway, so ntpdate has gone from my setup (sequencing error thus resolved) and all is working as it should. I am still disturbed about my ISP because a short power down would cause my LEAF box (and thus the whole LAN) to lose time, making the logs almost meaningless. Perhaps a power-up delay could be programmed.
This is quite an old problem which I reported some time ago. I solved it by inserting a loop checking for the presence of a default route in the ntpdate start up.
