The name of the symbolic link controls that S15* will run before S20* or S40atd will
run before S40cron
The script that runs these is /etc/rc.d/rc and it uses a for loop contruct to iterate
through the files (links) in the given runlevel
directory.
Having read this thread I got curious and used the same construct as a test:
#!/bin/sh
for i in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S*; do
echo $i;
done
on my system it generates the following output:
bhughes$ ./testfororder
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S10network
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S11portmap
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S15netfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20random
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S30syslog
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S40atd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S40crond
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S45pcmcia
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50inet
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S55sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S55xntpd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S60lpd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S60nfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S75keytable
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80sendmail
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85gpm
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90xfs
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91smb
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99linuxconf
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local
Extremely flexible and simple once you get used to it.
Hope this helps.
