PostPosted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 2:22 am    Post subject: init.d order? Reply with quote

Where do I set the order that I want the /etc/init.d/* scripts to run in during bootup?

Specifically, my problem is that ntp-client is started before net.eth0 and it of course fails. How to I change it so that ntp-client is started AFTER ethernet interface?

FWIW the system was "emerge sync; emerge -uD world; shutdown -r now" just yesterday so everything is fresh and up to date. It's a 21164 based DEC Alpha system.

TIA!

Looking at the ntp-client init.d script, it should already start after the network is up:
Code:
depend() {
        before cron portmap
        need net
        use dns logger
}


Maybe changing RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING to "yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc would help?

cheers

You might also see if RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP is yes in /etc/conf.d/rc. I have that same problem if I boot with it yes.

See "Service Dependency" at the wiki.

Hmm...

I changed RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING to "yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc

I also added "after net.eth0" to the depend function of /etc/init.d/ntp-client like it says in the wiki.

RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP is no in /etc/conf.d/rc

Still not working. ntp-client tries to startup right after the lo interface is started. Next, the random number generator is started, then INIT switches to Runlevel 3, then net.eth0 is brought up.

Thanks for the quick replies - Any other ideas?

Sounds like you've got the ntp-client service starting in the boot runlevel, when your net.eth0 service starts in the default runlevel.

rc-update show should confirm this.

I did:

rc-update add ntp-client default
rc-update del ntp-client boot

and now everything is working as it should!!

Thanks!

That seems to be a common mistake. Is there a document lying around that wrongly says to put ntp-client in the "boot" runlevel?

Not in any of the official Gentoo documentation.
