So can I conclude that, there is no way to ensure services start at
custom priority time on SLES 10 using "insserv" or "chkconfig" from
scripts other than writing the symbolic links manually!!

My understanding is that any symlink that is not "properly" managed will

be deleted, or at least, it can be deleted. Maybe they are not deleted
but 
overwritten with the new one according to its data. Maybe under some 
circumstances they may remain. I don't know.

What I know is that there is no warranty that they are left alone, not 
even that they work.

I understand that they are not executed if the start/stop sequence runs
in 
parallel mode, but perhaps it is "make" mode. The OP poster found that 
out, that was his first problem: his scripts did not execute even though
he 
had the correct symlinks.
