I have a Suse 10.2 system with a problem. I created a script that responds to a 'start' and 'stop' option. Within the script, there are 'echo' commands that show the status of the script execution. If I run it manually, it starts and stops just fine:

/etc/init.d/tivomono start
and
/etc/init.d/tivomono stop

Once started manually, the script and corresponding services work perfectly.

I've also created two links in /etc/init.d/rc3.d. They are:

S13tivomono which points to ../tivomono
and
K13tivomono which points to ../tivomono

Per the 'man' page for init.d, my understanding is that the system runs the S scripts with the "start" option in rc3.d when entering run level 3, and runs the K scripts with the "stop" option when exiting run level 3. When I reboot my computer and watch the boot sequence, my S13tivomono script isn't even being called and the service started by the script never starts.

I'm stumped.....
