Change package start parameter

[spock]

Hi All,
One question about automatic package Start.
I have 1 node whith 2 packages (pkgA & pkgB). At system reboot, "pkgA" start before "pkgB".
I would like to start "pkgB" before "pkgA", do you have a methods to do it ?
Thanks for response.

Shalom Spock,

Create one package that starts what was pckg a and b. If there is a true dependency they should start in the same package control script. Otherwise there is no mechanism to control start order.

Live long and prosper?

Except for CFS packages, Serviceguard does not currently have the ability to control package order startup.
To accommodate this need, you could set AUTO_RUN to NO in the pkgA package configuration file. This prevents pkgA from starting when the cluster comes up.

Then in the customer_defined_run_cmds of pkgB control script, run a script (exec nohup) that checks that pkgB startup has completed, then performs 'cmmodpkg -e pkgA'. It may be necessary to also enable the node to run the package in order to get pkgA to start automatically:
cmmodpkg -e -n pkgA
This will enable pkgA to start.

Thanks for your help.
I start my second package with the second one.
