Hi

Is there a way to start services in specific order while booting ?

For example

I need the following services to be started in the below order

1)openvpn --> This should start first
2)networking --> This should start second


3)shorewall --> This should start third

Please guide

Thanks

Kaushal

The startup sequence is controlled by upstart [1] but the traditional
links in /etc/rc*.d/ should still work. I think you should have a look
at "/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.runlevels.gz" for the details.

You should start shorewall before networking!

You can create an openvpn event and have the start of networking depend on it:
