First, what runlevel have you ?

If you have runleve 3 (as example) go to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and check the symbolic links that starts with S .

In example, you have the service sendmail and squid, you want squid loaded first than senmail, at /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ you will find

S19sendmail
S30squid

S19 is loaded first than S30, you need to assign to S30squid a less value, or give to sendmail a value higher than squid.

S18squid
S19sendmail

or

S30squid
S40sendmail

Good luck !
You can use:D :p
