 Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 7:42 pm Post subject: Adding net.br0 to boot runlevel, any concerns? |
 |
|
I've been having problems getting br0 to start before ntp-client in the default runlevel. I have tried editing init scripts, moving things around using before and after but every time ntp-client starts before br0 is up all the way. Ntp-client seems to always come up after eth0 and tap0 but before br0. My solution has been to add net.br0 to the boot runlevel. So far so good, no warnings or errors and ntp-client is able to sync with time servers. My question is, are there any hidden "got-yas" that I may run into by putting net.br0 into the boot runlevel?

| /etc/conf.d/ntp-client: | | RC_NEED="net.br0" |
adding that line should do it

I removed net.br0 from the boot runlevel and added the line you suggested, but ntp-client still tried to load before br0. My init script is below. Any suggestions?

RC_NEED="net.br0"
depend() {
before cron portmap
need net
use dns logger
}
checkconfig() {
if [ ! -x "`which ${NTPCLIENT_CMD} 2>/dev/null`" ] ; then
eerror "Please edit /etc/conf.d/ntp-client"
eerror "Unable to locate the client command ${NTPCLIENT_CMD}!"
return 1
fi
if [ -z "${NTPCLIENT_OPTS}" ] ; then
eerror "Please edit /etc/conf.d/ntp-client"
eerror "I need to know what server/options to use!"
return 1
fi
return 0
}
start() {
checkconfig || return $?
ebegin "Setting clock via the NTP client '${NTPCLIENT_CMD}'"
${NTPCLIENT_CMD} ${NTPCLIENT_OPTS} >/dev/null &
local pid=$!
(sleep ${NTPCLIENT_TIMEOUT:-30}; kill -9 ${pid} >&/dev/null) &
wait ${pid}
eend $? "Failed to set clock"
}
