That works. I put it right after;
id:5:initdefault:

# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot

and just before the run levels (/etc/rc.d/rc ?)

OK - now I'll drop it down after:
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6

although I should only be interested in run level 5.

Is there a method I can use to find which init script is dying? As I
understand you to be saying one can not finish but the machine will
still finish the boot.

Thanks,
