Ugh. I kept seeing that but kept thinking I was misunderstanding since the lines began with '#' and couldn't get over thinking they were comments only. Thanks.In the last episode (Aug 10), Duane Winner said:
Can anybody explain to me how FreeBSD 5.2.1 controls the start order of the scripts in /etc/rc.d ?
I've looked all over and am having trouble gleening what controls this.
The rc manpage explains rc.d/ and the magic keywords used inside its scripts.
That's good news. So, I take it then I'm not some sort of freak for wanting to do this? :)
For instance, if I would like to start ipfw before dhclient (right now dhclient starts, then ipfw starts), how would I accomplish this?
Add "ipfw" to dhclient's REQUIRE line. This change was made to -current, so when 5.3 ships it'll already do what you want :)
