 |
|
I hope this is the right forum to post this question in.
I want to write a init.d script and am trying to understand the part about depend.
Here is a snippet from the postfix init.d script.
| Code: |
depend() {
use logger dns ypbind amavisd mysql postgresql antivirus postfix_greylist net saslauthd
provide mta
}
|
I am looking at this and cannot seem to find any good docs on it. Here are my questions.
I want to create a service that other services depend on and looking at this code paragraph it looks like this is what is happening.
If "myservice" wants to start it could set:
| Code: |
depend () {
use mta
provide myservice
}
|
Then another service could depend on "myservice" and "myservice" depends on "mta".
This way "myservice" will start after Postfix.
Is this a proper way to interpret that code?
Will "myservice" be started after Postfix because of the dependency?
Both are to be installed with:
| Code: |
rc-update add postfix default
rc-update add myservice default
|
Thanx
Julian

That article is exactly what I needed.
The operative word is indeed "need".
