Change service start order.

[url004]

Hi

How do I change the start order of services. What I would like to accomplice is to move the NTPmerlin service to start earlier than it does currently.
At the moment DoT starts before the ntp service and DoT traffic leaves my network via normal DNS traffic until the router sync its time.

You can't change the order of the system services. Most of them are event driven in any case. If you need a user script to run at a different time you'd have to move it to another service event.

To sync the router needs a working DNS, hence DNS has to be up and running earlier than ntpd.
