The scripts are started from /etc/rc; the code fragement looks like:

        for dir in ${local_startup}; do
                if [ -d "${dir}" ]; then
                        for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do

slist="${slist}${script_name_sep}${script}"
                        done
                fi
        done
        script_save_sep="$IFS"
        IFS="${script_name_sep}"
        for script in ${slist}; do
                if [ -x "${script}" ]; then
                        (set -T
                        trap 'exit 1' 2
                        ${script} start)
                elif [ -f "${script}" -o -L "${script}" ]; then
                        echo -n " (skipping ${script##*/}, not
executable)"
                fi
        done
        IFS="${script_save_sep}"
        echo '.'

Thus the scripts are executed in alphabetic order.
