Do you really need to start it in every run level, or just the one in
which will be operating (which I assume is run level 2, since that is what
/sbin/runlevel reports as the run level on my system)?
Also, I'm told you can just put a link with name like Slocal_hacks in for
example rc2.d and it will come after all links with numbers (since
characters follow numbers). This seems handy to me when I just want
things to happen after everything else in ordinary boot, expecailly since
somr of the rc directories already have S99 entries.
