Is there any default numbering system for creating symlinks inside /etc/rc3.d/

Hi Team,

I am very much confused about creating service for my jboss, I have multiple instance running and created service for next instance but while doing it for second instance I don't know what number to specify after S(S84 is specified for the first instance).

Is there any standard for choosing this number, please help.

Regards,
Sarath

Sequential numbering makes sense as services are started in that order when entering the runlevel.

Thank you for that information but I am looking out for a range from which I can start giving for my custom scripts.

I want to know if some particular range is there for system services like 84 for jboss so that I can start numbering after that.

No forced order I know of. Determine dependencies like requiring networking, network shares, syslog etc, etc and just start numbering after that.

Since you're running Fedora, shouldn't you be setting up your service using the standard systemd tools? I don't know about jboss, but almost all services have been already moved to systemd scripts.
