I installed the transmission daemon as a service, but it showed up as a S01xxx file name each time in the rc.x folders. I have another service that I want to run before the transmission daemon, and that consistently appeared as S03xxx file names.

Here’s what I did:
update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults 50
update-rc.d rootstartup defaults 10

If I look at, for example, the rc2.d folder then this is what I see:
S01transmission-daemon
S03rootstartup

From what I understand, the sequence will follow the file names, so the opposite startup order is happening. I’ve temporarily fixed this by renaming S01transmission-daemon to S05transmission-daemon, but I’m not happy that I had to do it that way.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

update-rc.d xyz defaults 20 80
displays happily: using dependency based boot sequencing
and is using priority 01 for all ignoring requested priorities 20 an 80.
