[F16] init script that requires network to run

[kdma]

Hello, i made a little script named FTPbackup that needs network connection to work, after many google searches i've hit a wall since i dont know what is the problem.(the script works fine if i start it manually when network is on)

Here is the chkconfig header

#!/bin/sh
#
# FTPBACKUP Mantiene una copia di una cartella su un FTP aggiornandola ad ogni boot
#
# chkconfig: 5 99 17
# description: Simple FTP uploader
#              

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: FTPBACKUP
# Required-Start: $network 
# Required-Stop: 
# Should-Start: $network
# Should-Stop: 
# Default-Start: 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 3 4 6
# Short-Description: Boot time daemon
# Description: enable service provided by daemon
### END INIT INFO

and this is the error log as you can see the script says service not found because it runs just before the network connection.

From what i understood in runlevel 5 i should already have network but i even put in required init info but as you can see it doesnt work,hope someone can shed a light on this,thanks

My advice is simple, remove NetworkManager and configure your network in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Then ensure that the network is configured to start on boot;

chkconfig --level 345 network on

Thanks for your suggestion but i followed an easier route, i put those lines in my script

while ! ping -c1 www dotgoogledot com > /dev/null ;
do
sleep 5
done

In this way as you can see it checks for connection and continues only when a network is found and the pc is connected to it.
