That said, AFAIK there are still some different ways how to handle the "init" scripts which control the automatic start/stop of services, and these different ways are used by different distributions. So you need to check the way in which your distribution does handle these scripts in "/etc/init.d". Typically, the scripts should contain fields like "Required-Start" and "Required-Stop" which are used to list dependencies. Then, there are programs "insserv" or "chkconfig" that evaluate these fields and create symbolic links for the various run levels that ensure the start/stop is done in the proper sequence. Sorry, I can't be more specific than this, but I hope this gives you the proper pointers to find the specifics for your distribution.
