What I have done in a few situations is put my local scripts in
/root/init.d and symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories. I was dealing
with getting the order of events correct and hardware initialization
delays. How would we deal with a set of /usr/local/etc/rc?.d scripts?
Would all /etc/rc4.d scripts be executed and then all /usr/local/etc/rc4.d
scripts follow that?
My current way of dealing with this allows precise control of what happens
in what order. If /root is a bad place to keep things call me ignorant,
but it has worked so far.
