There's no standard support for this. You will have to modify the script in=
=20
(/usr/local)/etc/rc.d/ for that service, specifically the ${name}_start=20
function. You will however have to do this with each update, so it is=20
generally better to contact the author of the service that depends on MySQL=
,=20
to more gracefully start up: if the connection can't be made that it tries=
=20
again until it does (maybe with a max_retries setting). This is very trivia=
l=20
stuff in daemons.
