A hack------------------------- Probably not the best, but cron runs after hardware is set so you could add this tab: @reboot /path/to/squid -option Kevin Kinsey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Aitken" <scotta@pobox.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 1:44 PM Subject: delay services until pcmcia nics start > Hi all, > is there a way to delay the starting of certain services (eg. dhcp server or squid), until after a pcmcia NIC has started? > I have two nics, both pcmcia, one an 802.11 cisco aironet card, and the other is a xircom ethernet. > I use the /etc/start_if.ano and /etc/start_if.xe0 scripts to configure the cards. I also pause during the execution of /etc/start_if.ano for 60 seconds (for some reason it won't go into ad-hoc mode straight away). > > I need to delay the execution of the isc-dhcp server, otherwise it starts before both cards are up. It then doesn't listen on the interface that starts later. > Also, squid attempts to verify dns by resoving certain well-known hosts. It can't to this at the time it starts because neither nic is ready.
