rc: not working as expected? (round 2)
(I mistakenly sent the last msg before finishing..) Or maybe an interpretation issue. I have a few startup scripts in rc.d and I am experiencing timing issues. i.e. I need xyz to start before abc. Within xyz I tried: # REQUIRE: abc This didn't work so I tried: 100.xyz 900.abc which doesn't appear to work either. What am I missing?

I'm betting you need to use the BEFORE clause, and the string you need to match on is whatever one (or more) of the PROVIDE clauses are in the script which you want to start first. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Hi Paul, You may be using REQUIRE: abc in one script, but have you placed a corresponding PROVIDE: abc in another script? I also use rcorder to print the order in which my rc.d scripts will be loaded: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rcordersourceid=opensearch. Check /etc/rc to see how rcorder is invoked at various times during bootup. Regards, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.

You can do a dry run as a non root user: $ rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d* 21 | more ~BAS On Fri, 2008-10-10 at 12:19 -0300, Paul Halliday wrote: (I mistakenly sent the last msg before finishing..)
