[gentoo-dev] rc.local init order

[gentoo-dev] rc.local init order

[Thread]

Interesting, I added my spoofy little perl app to fire off on boot to my
/etc/rc.d/init.d/local. Problem: the script attempts to connect to my mysql
database first thing, and fails because the mysqld init script doesn't fire off
till later. I always thought that the local init was the last to execute, guess
I was wrong. What's the most elegant way around this quirk?

Thread,

Maybe add a 'sleep 5'?  You know, sometimes mysql takes a few seconds to
load ...

/etc/rc.d/rc.local is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d/local :)
