OK, never mind, I didn't read the original message. Darix is exactly right.
messing around with symlinks is error prone and tedious, I just use the suse
mechanisms already in place, and let the system do the grunt work.
Here is the rc script I use - drop it in /etc/init.d/, make a symlink to
/usr/sbin/rcsqlgrey, and run chkconfig -a sqlgrey.
Starts every time - not that I ever reboot, but those times when power
failures have occurred, everything always comes up running as it should.
