OK, I took a few minutes to RTFM. Yes, I can see how tsort could be
brought to bear on this issue. Do you propose to put the dependencies
in the rc scripts, in some grepabble fashion? I suppose if you added
or changed something, you would need to re-run tsort before doing
another start or stop operation, right?
This seems doable, and an improvement over what we have, and what
SYSV has.
