A case just came up on Fedora-Xen where someone wanted to ensure that

putting autostart configs in a directory...
Do you mean waiting for a domain to start completely before starting the
next one? That sounds hard.
On the other hand, in vanilla Xen it's simple just to order the files in
/etc/xen/auto/ alphabetically, and the domains will start in the same
order (or at least they did in 3.0.2):
$ ls -1 /etc/xen/auto/
00-nfs
10-database
20-ftp
20-mail
20-web
30-bid
30-stats
40-blog
70-dev
80-aigars
80-dpress
80-gallery
80-jlo
