io-net startup

I have a netstart.myhost script that is called from my sysinit script.

It looks something like this:
io-net -ptcpip -pqnet -dspeedo
/usr/sbin/if-up -r20 -p en0
/usr/sbin/if-up -r20 -p en1
ifconfig en0 192.168.1.222
ifconfig en1 192.168.2.222
route add default 192.168.1.1

If this is called from sysinit and sysinit wit for it it works fine:
I.E.
if [ -x /etc/system/netstart.myhost ]; then
/etc/system/netstart.myhost
fi

However if I load this script in the background it fails to configure
the interfaces.
if [ -x /etc/system/netstart.myhost ]; then
/etc/system/netstart.myhost &
fi

It’s as if io-net can not compete with other processes while
initializing. How can I make this work?

You might also want full path for these 3 lines.

I have a netstart.myhost script that is called from my sysinit script.

/usr/sbin/if-up -r20 -p en1

This did not help.

Is there anything else I can look for?

Just a thought. What is happening after this
in your sysinit script? Maybe something there
is clobbering your netstart.myhost script.

I realize that “if_up” and “on -w” both should be
doing approximately the same thing, but you could
always try “waitfor” as well.

waitfor /dev/socket 10
