init scripts in the image file

[skmdu]

Hi,

I have one boot image.....

If I boot from that image, its installing everything.

and in the rc3.d there is S55sshd.

My question is:

In this boot image I want to change the execution of sshd at last. some thing like S99sshd.

How to do this? Kindly give your inputs.

Thanks in advance

Login as root and change the name of the file should do it. The init script executes by alphabetic order, so S99sshd would execute after other stuff. AFAIK, this is acceptable, but perhaps not advisable.

Thanks for your reply.

My question is: How to change in the boot image itself not after booting.

If I boot from the image, it should execute sshd at last after other stuffs.

(How to change the boot image to change the process sequence in booting).

You don't change the boot image to change the init sequence. The init sequence has nothing to do with the boot image, in effect. You can have many boot images (kernels is what I presume you mean), but each will still use the same init scripts as it boots. The loaded kernel modules may differ, but the scripts in /etc/rc.d will be executed for the runlevel selected, regardless.
