[SOLVED] Network daemon starting slowly

Hello guys,

It seems like the network daemon is starting rather slowly (maybe due to the fact that it has to obtain an ip address via dhcp). If I could get it to start faster, my system would boot up in under 10 seconds smile Is it safe to launch the network daemon in the background? If no, is there any way to speed it up?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe try Backgrounding it by adding a @ in front of it within /etc/rc.conf.

Yes it's generally safe to background it in most cases unless you have a good reason not to do so.

Re: [SOLVED] Network daemon starting slowly

Just try it. It's usually safe to background a daemon unless other daemons depend on it.
Another way would be to take the network daemon out of the daemons array in rc.conf and add it to rc.local:
(sleep 5
/etc/rc.d/network start) &


no place like /home
github

Backgrounding is an option, and/or use a static ipadress. Network problems such as bad wifi-signal or wrongly configured routers  can cause connection delays as well.
