      Not in Yast, in the script itself. Your MatLab script needs to
    specify the services it needs to exist before starting, then
    insserv will take care of ordering the startup appropriately.

      Look at /etc/init.d/skeleton for an explanation, basically,
    the Matlab script needs

    # Required-Start: $network

      In its init block.
