This one seems really simple and interresting: http://www.fastboot.org/ If I understand it correctly, all that is needed is the serelc command. This can then be used directly in the Task scripts, like serelc --provide hald serelc --need dbus hald & from the manpage: >>> --provide service Tell the daemon that the parent process is starting service --unprovide service Tell the daemon that the parent process is stopping service --need service Block until the daemon reports that service's providing process has exited. The exit status of the providing process may also be relevant, see --statuschange. --statuschange pid exitstatus Tell the daemon that process pid exited with status exitstatus. While --statuschange can be called from within a boot script, generally a shell "trap" must be employed to guarantee that it is called. This usage is cumbersome, and so --statuschange is generally called by the boot scripts's parent process, commonly serel-wrap. <<< Problem is that it depends on old Glib 1.2 and the redland library, but something like this should be easy to hack together, shouldn't it? :) -- /Jonatan [ http://kymatica.com ] _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
