i would like to order and time startups in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
to deal with sequencing and timing issues, for example
o network services come up befofe the ether is really alive
and in contact with the world. some of them don't behave
well if this happens (e.g. asterisk, ejabberd, ...)
o exim starts before spamassassin daemon
i could
o rename them all to 042.whatever.sh
o and do timing by adding 000.sleep.sh containing
sleep 60
or whatever
but, portupgrade of some packages still seems to dump new
unnumbered shell scripts in the directory with +x
how do others deal with this? what am i missing? clue by
four, please.
