Daemons order

This is my daemon list

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng dbus hal @alsamixer @network gdm adsl)

With this my boot is quick.
Now my questions are 2:

1) how your list is?
2) can mine be improved?

Re: Daemons order

You can take out dbus, it is already started by hal.
Mine is like this:

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng iptables @network !netfs @hal @crond !ifplugd @alsa @ddclient @denyhosts @sshd @powernowd @mpd)

Re: Daemons order

I'm not very much into DAEMON handling, so my list is rather default.

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng network netfs @crond @alsa @dbus @hal @httpd @mysqld @kdm)

Just backgrounded network, takes a lot of time when starting the system. What about netfs - what is it good for?

Netfs is for stuff like nfs, cifs, sshfs etc. For mounting filesystems over a network thus, I don't use it so I disabled it. You can also remove dbus from your list as it is started automatically by hal, might save you a second...

Re: Daemons order

You don't need to place dbus before hal - it's going to automatically start dbus if not already running. So you can save few seconds with "@hal" instead of "dbus @hal". The same goes with portmap and fam - "@fam" instead of "portmap @fam".

Here comes my list:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network @gdm @anacrond @alsa @fam @hal @gensplash)

Re: Daemons order

I have now modified it - and everything became backgrounded.

Any problem with this?

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @crond @alsa @hal @ntpd @httpd @mysqld @kdm)

I think ntpd needs network, but if it works (thus if network is loaded fast enough) you can leave it like that, if it causes trouble you need to "un-background' network.

It works perfectly and speeded up my boot process very much.

Re: Daemons order

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal network dnsmasq !hplip @alsa @crond !@cups @martian !@openntpd @postfix !@sshd)

The background daemons are sorted alphabetically, just to remind myself that the load order won't matter, and some are just temporarily disabled.
