not always. the dependency graph works fine if you start/stop all
services at once, but not individually such as :
starting nfsd should required mountd but actually, it don't start it.
let's try :
(for testing purpose, all rc files have been modified to use relative
references instead of absolute ones)
$ cat rc.conf
rc_configured=YES
rc1=YES
rc2=YES
$ cat rc.d/rc1
# PROVIDE: rc1
# REQUIRE: rc2
_etc=${_etc:-${0%/*}/..}
. $_etc/rc.subr
name="rc1"
rcvar="rc1"
command="/bin/echo"
command_args="rc1"
required_vars="rc2"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
$ cat rc.d/rc2
# PROVIDE: rc2
_etc=${_etc:-${0%/*}/..}
. $_etc/rc.subr
name="rc2"
rcvar="rc2"
command="/bin/echo"
command_args="rc2"
required_vars="rc1"
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
$ ./rc

Starting rc2.
rc2
Starting rc1.
rc1

ok, rc1 depends on rc2, so rc2 is started before rc1.
now, just start rc1 :
$ rc.d/rc1 start
Starting rc1.
rc1
oops, rc2 isn't started. too bad.
