[gentoo-dev] init script dependancies

[Haplo]

Hey.  I have a small question.  Say for instance one is running a server
with a bunch of net based services.  And one has a semi dynamic ip
(changes once a month).  Now this really isn't crucial, but, when I
./net.eth1 stop and then ./net.eth1 start again, to restart dhcpcd to
aquire my new ip (since suddenly my internet has seized up I figure its
*that time* again), all my depend net services go down.  Which is
anoyying, but also unesecary.  Partly because I have an internal network
eth0 and so some really reall don't need to go down, and its a few extra
seconds of work for me (ok, so not really that bad).  Still, I was
woundering if in those services, instead of just removing the depends
net (which *would* work, but not so nice) I was woundering if I could
make them depend on all the net interfaces and yet use them
interchangeably.  Depend net.* was my first guess, but that failed
because it needed ALL the net interfaces to come up, and thus all failed
when net.ppp0 didn't come up (

You could use

	./net.eth1 pause start  

to take only that service down and restart it, without stopping depending 
services.
