The user had a problem becuase one service tried to start before What you quoted here (somewhat out of context) are only "extended" *examples* of the sorts of useful things that you can do with chkconfig. > another was already running.

Yes, I think we all understand that. But you have missed the point... /sbin/chkconfig just makes doing this a whole lot easier. Simply edit the chkconfig start/stop order level settings in the actual init script, then use chkconfig to envoke the changes. Simple.
