Hello, I would like to delay oscam after the boot so that openvpn starts earlier.
How can I do that?
Thanks

Is that needed? Oscam readers will automatically (re)connect as soon as a network connection comes available.

Why? Oscam doesn't care that the VPN isn't up when it is started?

It's not a problem about oscam. It works good. I just want the VPN to work before oscam so that my original ip isn't shown at all.

If it connects to an IP that is reachable through both your internet connection and your VPN, can't you block it on your router? Or define a null route on your router for that IP? Or a static route on the box that forces the traffic to that IP to the VPN next-hop? Or setup the VPN on your router?
It isn't complex to alter the startup order, but it is complexer to make sure Oscam doesn't start before the tunnel is fully up, simply swapping the startup order doesn't guarantee that.

in /etc/init.d/softcam.oscam instead of
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
ulimit -s 1024
/usr/bin/oscam --wait 0 --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam.pid --restart 2 --utf8
;;
you put
sleep 30 && /usr/bin/oscam --wait 0 --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam.pid --restart 2 --utf8
adjust sleep more or less
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
ulimit -s 1024
/usr/bin/oscam --wait 0 --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam.pid --restart 2 --utf8

That still doesn't guarantee that oscam will only start once the tunnel is up and there is IP connectivity.
Also, softcam.oscam is a system file, which means it may be overwritten on the next update.

If by that you mean use the tap0 / tun0 IP, chances are Oscam won't start if OpenVPN isn't up, and that interface isn't available. You'll have to test if that works...
