Re: Starup script - how can I make it start later? (Firestarter)
I haven't done this yet, but I have a feeling that when I finish
installing Debian I will be playing with the rc?.d scripts.
The scripts are actually symlinks to the real scripts. The symlinks
have a name like
[KS][0-9][0-9][a-zA-Z]+
The symlinks that start with S are for startup and the ones with K are
for shutdown. The 2-digit number tells the system which order to run
the scripts. The text after the number is the name of the service.
If you increase the number, it will start later. It would be a good
idea to read the docs first. There is a program called sysconf or
some similar name that is used to keep the init system in sync. Check
the archives or wait for the other gurus to explain it better than me.
