The start-up scripts for systemV were actually executed based on the order in /etc/rc5.d (if going into graphical mode) or /etc/rc3.d (if going into multi-user mode).
Not in recent openSUSE versions, the links are basically ignored. Instead, what is used are makefiles in /etc/init.d/. It is documented. Or was, the manual page has disappeared recently from doc.opensuse.org.
You said "No, *never*". Which is clearly not the case...as I was talking about "SystemV" systems and I used the word "were" which just happens to be past tense. When you say "recent openSUSE" versions are you speaking of those which use a combination of systemd and init scripts? I don't know why you call the scripts in /etc/init.d makefiles.... I haven't had the time or the need to determine how to influence start-up order on systemd with or without a combination of init scripts. But, clearly it is possible since you'd generally need to start the network prior to starting services which require that the network be up. For example, the network needs to be up prior to mounting NFS shares. Clearly, systemd would need to account for that.
So, while it isn't the order in /etc/init.d there is a way to control the order.....
Yes, but creating manually the symlinks or changing the numbers in the name will not work by default.
Yes, it did with systemV systems.... I'd been doing it for *years*.
