looking at your ps ax, the items from rc.sysinit.author are all starting ok.
I don't use endpadplus anymore, I upgraded to the newer endpad, but it still runs from the same location as yours, just after TWP.
There might be an issue with TWP still initialising that is stopping endpadplus.
Try moving the command to bottom of rc.sysinit.author and see if that helps.
