that pre-populate parts of the system (e.g. a tmpfs based /var) an
easy place to plug in like:
# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal
# BEFORE: MOUNTCRITLOCAL
This also cleans up the existing special handling a bit by separating it
into new scripts. All later scripts now depend on MOUNTCRITLOCAL.
Discussed on tech-userlevel some time ago.
route6d is in /usr/sbin, and thus on systems with separate / and /usr,
/etc/rc.d/route6d can be run before /usr is mounted, resulting in
route6d mysteriously failing to start.
NETWORKING, and SERVERS) by specifying that certain things should
come BEFORE a given barrier, rather than having the barrier REQUIRE
a service. This allows scripts to be removed without having to
edit the barrier dependencies.
As discussed on tech-userlevel, and approved by Luke.
implicitly using $name if $rcvar isn't set), and always perform this check,
even when using start_cmd (et al).
this check is performed before the pidcmd
is run, speeding up scripts that weren't going to be run anyway.
this should speed up booting slow systems.
- take advantage of the above and remove
start_precmd="checkyesno foo"
in scripts that use start_cmd.
- explicitly set rcvar=foo in the rc.d/foo scripts which have an equivalent
rc.conf entry
- fix `rcvar' and `restart' when $rcvar isn't set.
these above changes fix PR [bin/11027].
- when doing `force*', ignore the return value of *_precmd.
this fixes PR [bin/10781].
- rename what sysdb provides from `databases' to `sysdb', to reflect
the name of the script.
- improve the comments in rc.subr
