Description Madison Kelly 2011-07-25 05:24:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

In the header of '/etc/rc.local', it reads:
====
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
====

However, it is actually started as S99local, which means that any init.d scripts sequentially after S99local (ie: S99rgmanager) will not start until after the /etc/rc.local scripts exit.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

initscripts-8.45

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a script that expects rgmanager to be running
2. Add it to /etc/rc.local
3. Watch boot and see your script fail, then have rgmanager start
  
Actual results:

Does not start after all init.d scripts.

Expected results:

Start after all init.d scripts.

Additional info:

The 'rgmanager' example is just that, an example.
