You summarized the problem well. Synchronizing the start of owserver and
it's clients can be problematic.
As for suspending the boot process -- the whole scheme can be done in the
background.
I.e run this script in the background:
#!/bin/sh
# script to start the 1-wire processes
# with delay for owserver
# owserver address
address=""
/opt/owfs/bin/owserver --fake=10 -p $address
# wait for owserver to accept connections:
e="1"
while [ $e -ne 0 ] ; do
/opt/owfs/bin/owexist -q $address
e=$?
sleep 1
done
/opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd -s $address -p 4444
/opt/owfs/bin/owfs -s $address -m /mnt/1wire --allow_other
---------------------------------
I guess another approach would be to allow owhttpd and owfs to function
even if they can't yet connect to owserver.
