I don't know the order for sure.   I think they use an unmodified
sort order, but...

But a comment, you should probably put in the case for start and
stop even if you use the extra simple script in posted because
otherwise you will get the same boot message for both boots
and shutdowns.    Sorry, I was too busy on other things to notice
that bit.
