Re: [virgo-dev] Start level in Virgo?

["Tommy M. McGuire" <mcguire@xxxxxxxx>]

Maybe there is another way to do this. We have several applications deployed to the server,
along with several other bundles which provide services used by the applications. Some of
the applications are poorly written :-) and attempt to use services while they are starting up.

This works fine when the server is up and running, and the app is being deployed, but if
the server is restarting some of the services may not be started when the application is
started. It seems like the start-up process waits for the application, which is in turn waiting
for its services. Eventually the app times out, the server undeploys it and goes on to start
the remaining bundles.

Our thought was to use start levels to prevent the apps from starting until after the service
bundles, but it seems like the start levels set using the cli interface don't persist over restarts.

Any ideas?
