ok, I'll say something to the effect that they're executed immediately
after rc.local.

I think "lexicographical order" might be what you're after. :-) That's
what strcmp(3) says, and what find(1) says about the -s option, for

Hmm? I don't see that.
for dir in ${local_startup}; do
if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
if [ -x "${script}" ]; then
(set -T
trap 'exit 1' 2
${script} stop)
fi
done
