Service load order dependency on group

[ketorin]

Hi!

I would like to create a service with dependency on NetworkProvider load order group. Help says:
"Dependencies (';;' deliminated list):
A double-semi-colon delimited list of names of services or load order groups that the system must start before this service."

How do I specify which do I mean, group or service? NetworkProvider (and all in the delimited list) goes to DependOnService registry entry, while I want it to go to DependOnGroup.

Thanks.

What I would like you to try is the following:

Any dependencies that you want specified as DependOnGroup, add the text SC_GROUP_IDENTIFIER to the beginning of it's name.

Give that a try and let me know if it works. If not, I'll look into it further.

Cheers, Darryl!

Unfortunately that did not work. The SC_GROUP_IDENTIFIER prefix just goes to registry as such to DependOnService key. I also did some wild guessing, and tried surrounding it with %, $ and #, no help.

OK, try adding a plus sign (+) before the group name and see if that works:

For example:

+MyGroupName1;;+MyGroupName2

Thanks, that works.

It might be good to document this somewhere.

I'm happy to hear that worked. Yes, I will definitely submit a report for it to be added to the docs.
