OK that got it. There wasn't a $all service. (SLES9 SP3) But, looking at splash_late, well there was a "provides".
So doing an insserv -r to remove the old stuff before doing the insserv again, moved the startup to "S16"....basically the end of the line. It moved the shutdown to "K06" which is the first things shutdown. I did try the "forcing" approach. That is rename the scripts to the place I wanted them. Worked fine also. That is until I did another "insserv" command again. It set things straight. I knew there had to be a legit way of doing this. That was fun....Time to go off to do something else.

Try using $ALL. According to the clamd script, that's a "UnitedLinux extension" that "indicates that a script should be inserted at the end." Not sure what it will do in terms of the kill scripts. Hopefully it will be the first one. > The chapter on this, does a good job of explaining the startup sequence, but > not how to be last.

I could put a delay in the startup process to wait everything out. Actually, you can put anything in there that another startup script "Provides:". /etc/init.d> grep Provides: * for a list of what all those might be on your particular system. One you might consider is "SuSEfirewall2_setup" since that appears to be currently last on my SLED10 system.
