[gentoo-dev] Initscripts

[gentoo-dev] Initscripts

[Alexander Gretencord]

Ok I run a nameserver and some other software on my router. The nameserver 
should of course start first (after syslog) so the others can resolve names. 
So I put 

after named

into the depend of all the services which need to be able to resolve names at 
startup. The problem is, it just doesn't work. I even tried 

need named

but it's just ignored. The services start in any order they like.

I'm still on rc6 but that should be no real problem it's just an old portage 
etc. but I got the newest init etc.

I put a

before named

into the samba script and it is started right before the named is started. But 
I'd really like after to work so I can use it in the script instead of 
putting a before a b c ... into the named script.

It test ok here.  Mail me all the files you changed (rc-scripts
changed), and also if possible a tarball of the contents of
/mnt/.init.d/.

Then, did you run:

# depscan.sh

after you made the changes ?

For an unfinished guide, try:

I got something similar here with ypbind. Everything's fine when starting
the system, but when shutting down services are stopped in the wrong
order:
....
nfs
portmap
eth0
ypbind
....
and ~60 sec timeouts because of unsuccessful yp-client-calls :(

Best regards.

What baselayout version.  Also, did you change ypbind any
way ?  Attach you copy please.

I havnt done any research on this so I cant offer much detail, other than to say that tonight I noticed when I shutdown to move the system that something tried a dhcp 'release' - *after* the network was taken down. Im guessing its related. Baselayout 1.7.7 with no changes to the initscripts

Since everyone is so for doing init different, I'll put in my plug for my
favorite in case anyone gets interested in applying it to Gentoo
(hint,hint).

I mentioned this one to seemant.  He said that the people looking at
making Gentoo's init system better have been looking at it.
