[gentoo-user] In which order services are started?

[Jarry]

Hi,
$SUBJECT says it all:

Is there any way to find out in which order services are
started during boot-up (except for looking at boot-up
screen and making notes)?

I tried to figure it out looking into /etc/init.d scripts,
but there are a lot of depend/need/use/before statements,
so I quicky lost trace...

You could use the "interactive way" so you will be prompted to accept
every service starts. You can do this by pouching "I" during OpenRC
start (or something like this - there is some kind of message, during
OpenRC start, something like "Press "I" for interactive mode")

You could turn on boot logging in rc.conf and look at /var/log/rc.log.

I think Jarry wanted to know what to tweak to change the order. I wanted 
to know this as well not long ago, but I didn't have the energy to chase 
it. (I wanted gpm to be started earlier in the sequence but without 
putting it in the boot run level.)

How do I do this?
My rc.conf doesn't contain anything that looks like a fitting parameter.
There is no man-page for rc.conf, either.

Thanks in advance,

rc_logger="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf for openrc. Baselayout1 has a similar setting somewhere.

If he did, that's not what he asked. You change the order by adding
before/after statements to the scripts in /etc/init.d. I believe with
openrc you can have a similar effect by setting rc_after or rc_before in
the corresponding file in /etc/conf.d. I've never tried this but it is
documented in /etc/rc.conf.

I think the output of 'rc-status' shows the services in the right order.

It may be a coincidence but mine are alphabetical.  Also, mine only 
shows the ones in the current runlevel, default at the moment.  It does 
not list the ones in the boot runlevel.

It shows all runlevels but they are still all in alphabetical order.

This may be a baselayout-2 thing then. Here the output looks like this:

wonko@weird ~ $ rc-status boot|cut -d " " -f 2
boot
hwclock
modules
lvm
device-mapper
dmcrypt
fsck
root
mtab
localmount
hostname
sysctl
bootmisc
procfs
termencoding
consolefont
keymaps
net.lo
urandom
swap

wonko@weird ~ $ rc-status default|cut -d " " -f 2
default
hdparm
net.eth0
rsyncd
metalog
hald
cupsd
nfs
nfsmount
netmount
gpm
xdm
alsasound
distccd
fcron
lm_sensors
mysql

I'm still on baselayout 1 here.  Your list does look different from mine 
tho.  Every one of mine is alphabetical.  Funny thing is, some geel most 
likely thought it would be neat to list them that way and went to the 
trouble of having it sort them for us.  Osrt of like the world file.  
Mine is alphabetical there as well.
