all startup scripts past S30gdm do not execute

[Admin]

HI List,

my startup scripts are not executing scripts past S30gdm.  So I put a 
line /sbin/sulogin in the script and finally figured out where the 
script is hanging and never returning.  How can I cure the problem?

---- snip ---

                 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile
$PIDFILE -\
-name gdm $SSD_ARG -- $CONFIG_FILE >/dev/null 2>&1 || log_end_msg 1echo

--- snip ---

What is the Best approach for allowing the start-stop-daemon to execute
while allowing the script to continue?

~$ ps -auxww | grep S30
