Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

It appears that munin-node starts at S20 (defaults, presumably), while
many of the services it queries are started later (apache for instance
is S91).  I happened to notice this because I am running munin-node on
many systems, and only collecting the data at a single point with munin.
One of the systems had to be rebooted, and when it came up, munin-node
was queried before ntp was up, and the node choked and apparently died.

Last log line was:
ntpq: read: Connection refused
ntpq: read: Connection refused
Process Backgrounded

and then nothing for an hour and a half, until I noticed and started it
manually.

Moving munin-node's start up to S92 or so would certainly fix this.
Probably the long term fix is to make sure that child scripts can't kill
the main munin-node daemon, but this will work around it until then.

Thanks, and if you need more information, please let me know,
