Postgres Init Script problem on SLES9

The Scalix installer creates S02scalix-tomcat and S02scalix-postgres in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d & /etc/rc.d/rc5.d.

Unfortunately, postgres will fail to start unless networking is already started. Networking is started as S05network. Therefore, scalix-postgresql will never start successfully.

Renaming the scripts to S07scalix-tomcat and S07scalix-postgres resolves the problem.

I'll have a look at Red Hat when I'm in front of one of their boxes next. I put this here rather than in Installation because most people won't notice it until after they reboot their box.

Ok, I checked on another server, which went straight from 10 to 11GA, and the initscripts are fine.

6 for postgres and 9 for tomcat.

Thats more confusing. Both boxes are SX11GA on SLES9. One was upgraded from the RCs, and one was 10.0.2 to 11GA.
