There is. You have (at least) 2 other options: 1) In the "/etc/conf.d" files (as I tend to do): # grep need /etc/conf.d/postgresql-9.5 rc_need="netmount" (This means, postgresql-9.5 needs the 'netmount' service to have started first) # grep need /etc/conf.d/netmount rc_need="net iscsid" (This means, netmount needs 'net' and 'iscsid' started first) 2) /etc/rc.conf See the following section in the default version: === # It's possible to define extra dependencies for services like so #rc_config="/etc/foo" #rc_need="openvpn" #rc_use="net.eth0" #rc_after="clock" #rc_before="local" #rc_provide="!net" === -- Joost
