We have an rc.conf file that looks something like this: =20 ifconfig_nfe0=3D"UP" ifconfig_nfe1=3D"UP" cloned_interfaces=3D"lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0=3D"laggproto failover laggport nfe0 laggport nfe1 <ip> netmask <mask>" defaultrouter=3D<router-ip> ... ourapp_enable=3D"YES" =20 In a recent reboot test, when "ourapp" started, it checked to see if an IP was assigned to the system and there was not, causing it to take an unexpected logic path. Our understanding though was that since we had an entry in rc.conf defining the IP then our app should have started after that IP was assigned. Is this true or is there potentially a timing issue here? =20
