AFAIK, there is no current way to determine the ordering of rc/init scripts WITHOUT rebooting. If there is, just tell me what it is and mark this bug invalid . Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Redhat based distros usually use numbered symlinks in the runlevel directories, so one can just look there to see the order. An additional option to rc-status or rc-update would be nice, like "rc-update show order". Gentoo does do this at the init level so it should be possible to provide some kind of user interface to facilitate in the modification of rc-script ordering via the "depends ()" function in the init scripts WITHOUT rebooting to see the changed order.
rc-status in our svn now displays the services in the order in which they will be started. Will be in baselayout-2.0.0_rc6
Thanks Roy. Will it display the init order that orignally started or will the order change when changes are made to the depends() function of the init scripts?

If rc-status is being run as root then we will attempt to update the deptree with the new info if needed, otherwise we won't rc-status uses the info found in the deptree.
