I have no idea if this would work or not. But have you tried writing a |
| 6 |
init script that does nothing but polls for the service and only |
| 7 |
exits when succeeds? Then you can edit the scripts for the dependent |
| 8 |
services to require it to start after your polling script. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Something like: script /etc/init.d/foo polls tries for database |
| 11 |
connection. Inside it is a time-delayed loop that tries until it |
| 12 |
succeeds. Edit /etc/init.d/apache (assuming you are using it for your |
| 13 |
webserver) to 'need foo' |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Again, I am just throwing this out randomly. Let me know if it works |
| 16 |
at all ;p |

Best of luck, |

Two college graduates are peeing in a bathroom. |

|
| 24 |
The Harvard grad finishes, goes over and washes his hands very well using |
| 25 |
lots of soap and water, and says "at Harvard, they teach us to be clean." |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The Yale grad finishes, and washes his hands with a very small amount |
| 28 |
of soap and water and says "at Yale they teach us to conserve resources." |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Right then, a Princeton grad walks in, washes his hands thoroughly, |
| 31 |
and goes to the urinal, saying "At Princeton, they teach us to wash |
| 32 |
our hands before handling a sacred object." |
