Re: [gentoo-user] How do I deamonize every service?
I think you all understood me wrong: LK wrote linuxrocksrul...@gmail.com: On Arch Linux there is a variable with all important things to be run, like dhcpcd, ssh, apache, and so on. If I want i can simply prepend a '@' to be begin to start it in the background. I miss that ease on gentoo. I mean, rc-update adds a service in such a way, that the booting waits for that service to complete startup. Now I would like to start the service in the background to speed the boot up. I was able to do this kind of stuff in arch: SERVICES=udev nxserver @dhcpcd @ssh Where the services preceeded by a AT are backgroundified. TIA...

Do you by any chance know the difference between the two? All I know is that they do basically the same and both their distfile is only a few kB in size. Even their package description is the same. What the heck are you even talking about? I am sorry to have explained it wrong.

Now I would like to start the service in the background to speed the boot up. There's the PARALLEL_STARTUP option in rc.conf, but this method is currently unsupported. If you have ifplugd installed and set rc_depend_strict=NO in rc.conf, there isn't really anything that should wait. The usual delays are networking scripts waiting for the network to come up, but this avoids those. -- Neil Bothwick Home is where you hang your @. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

So to use that option, edit /etc/conf.d/net and use: dhcpcd_eth0=--background That works. On Arch Linux there is a variable with all important things to be run, like dhcpcd, ssh, apache, and so on. If I want i can simply prepend a '@' to be begin to start it in the background. I miss that ease on gentoo, where i dont want to wait for sshd or dhcpcd to start. Now the above solution for dhcpcd is not general. I dont want to take the specific way for each service. TIA.

If you emerge ifplugd it should automatically let network start immediately at boot, and then do the actual connection in the background. It also handles unplug/plugging of the cable without you needing to do anything.
