We had a power failure last night, and this morning I found that imapproxyd (running on a webserver which provides webmail) had failed to start because it depends on imapd (running on the mailserver, a different host), and imapproxyd had won the startup race. I need to prevent the race by making one service depend on another service running remotely. While I sketch out some horribly untidy fix, can the Lazyweb tell me if there is already a neat solution for this? Jonathan
