There is some facility for this, using the $<facility> notation. But it is not very good for this. My proposal to solve this, is some kind of 'before' statement, but it is not standardized nor implemented anywere. > This would be helpful for, for instance, sendmail, where you want it > to wait for all milters to start - sendmail's init script could wait > on group milter, and then all the milters could declare themselves > part of milter, and be started in parallel. Here the milters (no idea what a milter is. :) would express that they want to start before sendmail, and the script ordering system would try to make sure this happen. :) But as I said, there is no support for this at the moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
