What would be a better heuristic? Even running these scripts last instead of first would seem better. Would it make sense to keep track of the sysvinit number for each script, and for each script without dependency information, treat /all/ lower-numbered scripts as dependencies? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
