But that _is_ how 4.X and previous version did it. But I think it's changed in 5.x. 5.x has a some new stuff built into rcng which allows you to specify dependencies so that (for example) your database application doesn't start until the database server is up and running. I don't know the details of how it works yet. It's on my TODO list to take some time to research it and understand the new features available, but I haven't got to it yet. Rhodes has apparently been busy, though, since there is a new section in the handbook on rcng: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-rcng.html -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
