Is just add an

    ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 30

to the startup script (which also handles mariadb
and/or mysql startup delats).

It is not the "right" solution, but it handles the 95%
case if you are willing to accept that you will always
get an additional 30 second delay at BE startup.

Last I checked, neither Oracle nor MariaDB
had provided a proper "wait until the database
is running and answering connections" systemd
conf file (there are a couple out there on the 'net
floating around, but nothing from upstream).

And, regardless, determining if the network is
truly "online" is very very problematic, especially
with RAs, and the various timeouts and
suppression features (and sometimes challenged
MLD snooping).

Anyone who has copious free time could consider
adding in the capability to MythTV to detect
network changes, and react accordingly (as
services such as bind does).
