Just make a standard init script for it with this dependency block |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
depend() { |
| 15 |
before checkfs |
| 16 |
} |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
That way it will be run immediately after /dev, /proc and /sys have been |
| 19 |
brought up and the root fs checked. After that, brltty should launch. |

However, that doesn't work for baselayout-1 as it forces more services |
| 22 |
to start before hand, but should work as expected in newer versions. |
