shutdown order of services

[stm28304]

Is it possible to create dependencies during shutdown/reboot? I want to exceute a certain dinit service file before an other one during shutdown process. For booting there existis depends-on, after, before. How can I achieve an order during shutdown/reboot?

Example:
During a shutdown not stopping the ssd-session processes causes a long long waiting on client side. The solution could be a stop-command in sshd service file, which kills the sshd-session processes, but it should be executed before network.target/network stopps. As I can see in the syslog logfile the sshd service file is executed very late, especially after network.target/network.

The issue template is there for a reason; please don't open issues if they don't match the template; issues are for bug reports and feature requests (the latter in strict circumstances only). I am moving this to a discussion.

A service is always stopped before its ("hard") dependents. To have A stop before B, then B must depend on A.

The solution could be a stop-command in sshd service file, which kills the sshd-session processes, but it should be executed before network.target/network stopps

So in this case sshd should depend on the network-providing service (via a depends-on i.e. "hard" dependency). Then, sshd will necessarily stop (that includes running the specified stop-command) before the network is brought down.

(Note, I doubt it's necessary to put an explicit stop-command in your sshd service. Terminating the sshd process should terminate the sessions as well. Only the dependency is required, so that a suitable ordering exists).
