Power outage again...

Well, twice in the last few weeks the power has gone out and of course when 
my box comes back up(yes a BackUPS is on it, but the outage always outlasts 
my BackUPS, arg) I ahve to start/restart services namely dhcpd, sshd, smbd, 
nmbd, apache and pmfirewall (just to make sure that nothing was wiered out 
during reinit of eth0).

I am wondering whats going on.  a boot of the box and all is fine, the bash 
scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.. all seem to work just fine...

is there some way that I can "order" these scritps to start in a certain 
order, i.e dhcpd to start prior to eth0 initing itself..?

its nothing major, just annoying, but I would just soon not have to do this 
all the time.

The box is a modified other than kernel eD2.4.

latest Apache, latest sshd/openssl   These are my primary concerns as the 
outside connection comes up wonderfully, but if I am away, I am unable to 
connect via sshd and restart other services etc...

Any tips pointers would be greatly appreciated
