+```Priorities```
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+VyOS CLI is all about priorities. Every CLI node has a corresponding ``node.def``
+file and possibly an attached script that is executed when the node is present.
+Nodes can have a priority, and on system bootup - or any other ``commit`` to the
+config all scripts are executed from lowest to higest priority. This is good as
+this gives a deterministic behavior.
+
+To debug issues in priorities or to see what's going on in the background you can
+use the ``/opt/vyatta/sbin/priority.pl`` script which lists to you the execution
+order of the scripts.
