I have a Debian Wheezy system on which I want Tomcat to start after MySQL.
In the default runlevel 2, they are named as follows in /etc/rc2.d:
S16tomcat7
S18mysql
I can get the desired effect, at least temporarily, by manually renaming the tomcat7 link:
S18mysql
S20tomcat7
However I want to be able to do this with the update-rc.d command. I believe this will be the best way to make it work for all runlevels, and after package upgrades. I've tried the following:
update-rc.d tomcat7 defaults 20
also
update-rc.d tomcat7 defaults 20 1
as these didn't work, I tried:
update-rc.d tomcat7 remove
update-rc.d tomcat7 defaults 20
The remove command successfully removed tomcat7, but the above command resulted in it stubbornly returning to S16tomcat7!
Am I doing something wrong?

update-rc.d(8)enables or disables services, while the ordering of services is handled byinsserv(8), and can be customized by editing the LSB header of the Tomcat service and setting/adding:Further reference can be found here.
