I agree with these comments. If your program is that dependent on
the order of when joebob's program is started, you need to fix your
program and not depend on further complicating the system startup
process.

This is exactly why I hat the SysV model, because when there is
a problem in this area, finding the problem, making the order change,
and forcing the system not to screw up the order change is a losing
battle.
