Service "Dependency"

The00Dustin · 05-11-2006, 12:00 PM

I have a service that I want to make consistently stop before another service stops and start after said other service starts. I would like to make this happen on manual service restarts without running a command like:

Code:

service dependent stop ; service master restart ; service dependent start

Is there some way I can configure a dependency, or would I just have to add the commands for the dependent service to the master service's init script and remove the dependent service from the rc.runlevel folders? TIA

If your service is a custom service, why don't you start dependent services in the custom service(all in one).

One of the services is custom, in the sense that it isn't part of the OS, but I didn't make it, and it depends on a bult-in service. I have bee n corsidering editing the built-in service, but I wanted to find out if there was an easier / more proper way first. Thanks.
