I'm trying to change a process to run latter.

my runlevel

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# runlevel
N 3

The rc3.d listing

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ls -1 /etc/rc3.d/
K01avahi-daemon
K01dhcpcd
K01ntp
README
S01bootlogs
S01hostapd
S01ifplugd
S01motd
S01rsyslog
S01triggerhappy
S02apache2
S03cron
S03dbus
S03dphys-swapfile
S03rsync
S03ssh
S03udhcpd
S04lightdm
S05plymouth
S05rc.local
S05rmnologin

I want to change the hostapd start 

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# update-rc.d hostapd defaults 2

After I run the command I get no output and process does not change.

I need to move this after the network interfaces are brought up. Because it interferes with wlan0 getting it ip address assigned.

I'm using Raspbian jessie

The problem is that setting up links has been automated to resolve dependencies between services, so update-rc.d no longer does anything but call insserv nowadays to do all the work. So it ignores your options, and insserv looks only at the # Required-Start: comments in the header of the init.d scripts to decide what numbers to give them.

You can go back to the old style by setting the legacy mode, which you can read about in man update-rc.d, and then your command should work.

Alternatively, you can simply change the /etc/init.d/hostapd file and add another dependency, eg $syslog to the end of the existing # Required-Start: line. (I don't have this file to show you the result). Then rerun your command.
