Starting all boot scripts as background processes can potentially lead to |
| 2 |
some scripts starting before prerequisite ones have finished. For instance, |
| 3 |
if your network hasn't come up yet, and you start network services. |

Better solutions include Serel (www.fastboot.org) and Richard Gooch's fast |

boot scripts: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/boot-scripts/ |

Currently, the trade off between flexibility of serel versus the |
| 9 |
low-overhead of Richard's scripts has meant neither has been adopted over |
| 10 |
the present standard. I've heard people suggest hybrid approaches like using |
| 11 |
something like serel to generate something like Richard's scripts. |
