Thanks, this is interesting information.

Last time I gave this some thought, I wondered about an INITSCRIPT_DEPENDS field in OE to indicate which initscripts need to start (if present) before this one. That can then be used by the update-rc.d class when setting up the scripts. I like the idea of adding in some functions or variables with common values in. We probably need a list of the common values initscripts need (and why) so we can then try and find a way to generate the information. Do the values change per initscript for example like PID or are they fixed? Cheers, Richard
