Delay startup of services in rc.conf || elswhere
Hello, I have a server configured to start 10 services at startup (in /etc/ rc.conf) Unfortunately, the startup of MySQL seems to be returning ok before It actually has started completely the program… the next program rely on MySQL and does not start well because the database is not fully started. I would like to introduce something like a sleep 10 timer in the service startup process… How can I do that?

Hello bsd, I once had a problem just like yours. I introduced at the end of the mysql startup script from /usr/local/etc/rc.d a sleep 10 command and that did the trick. all the best, v On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 1:05 PM, bsd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have a server configured to start 10 services at startup (in /etc/rc.conf) Unfortunately, the startup of MySQL seems to be returning ok before It actually has started completely the program… the next program rely on MySQL and does not start well because the database is not fully started.

How can I do that?
There's no standard support for this. You will have to modify the script in
(/usr/local)/etc/rc.d/ for that service, specifically the ${name}_start
function. You will however have to do this with each update, so it is
generally better to contact the author of the service that depends on MySQL,
to more gracefully start up: if the connection can't be made that it tries
again until it does (maybe with a max_retries setting). This is very trivial
stuff in daemons.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

Unfortunately, the startup of MySQL seems to be returning ok
before It actually has started completely the program___ the next
program rely on MySQL and does not start well because the database is
not fully started.
I would like to introduce something like a sleep 10 timer in the
service startup process___
The cleanest solution is to create a minimal rc script that will sort
between the mysql and the affected services, and just give it a start
command that pauses for 10 seconds.
I do a similar thing where I poll for network access before allowing
anything that relies on it to start.
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: networkwait
# REQUIRE: named
# BEFORE: ntpdate
. /etc/rc.subr
networkwait_enable=${networkwait_enable:-NO}
name=networkwait
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
stop_cmd=:
start_cmd=networkwait_start
networkwait_start(){
if [ $networkwait_ping_hosts ] ; then
host_list=${networkwait_ping_hosts}
else
# No hosts supplied - use external nameservers
host_list=`awk '/^ *nameserver/ {print $2}
' /etc/resolv.conf | grep -E -v '^127\.0+\.0+\.0*1'`
fi
echo -n Waiting for network access ...
while true ; do
for inet_host in $host_list ; do
if ping -nc1 $inet_host 21 /dev/null ; then
echo ping to ${inet_host} succeeded.
# Re-Sync ipfilter and pf in case
# they had failed DNS lookups
/etc/rc.d/ipfilter resync
/etc/rc.d/pf resync
exit 0
fi
done
sleep 5
done
}

run_rc_command $1
