Hi,
I want to disable the start of a daemon until an barier file exist.
So I tried the following example configuration.
I do not expect that 'crond' is started if the
dependent file does not exist.
Too, after the message:
'crond' service timed out and will not be checked anymore
it should not started anymore, or not?
