I thought that the start and stop priority were provided by the /etc/rcx.d/ symlink names, i.e.

S03iptables
S10network

starts iptables before network. Are those two lines relly needed by rc script, or by some other configuration utility?

thanks,

Startup scripts has to follow some rules. For example, it is mandatory
to have a coupe of lines hinting default runlevels and priority at start
up and shutdown. Something like:

# chkconfig: 2345 90 20
# description: A comment to describe what this script does.

You have to handle at least the cases to start and stop the service you
are dealing with this script.

OTOH, if you are trying to start a program, not a service, you better
use rc.local.
