DependOnService Issue

[Adrian Meyer]

I have a service A that requires another service B (in my case an Oracle
service) to be started first, as service A will connect to service B.
Therefore I created a dependency.
Now a strange thing came up. Whenever i start service A i get the
notification that this will start service B first (which is fine). While
starting service B, it already seems to start also service A (before B
was completly started). The status column for B says starting while the
status column for A says started(!).

Is there a possibility to make sure service B is started completly
before it continues to start service A?

Thanks,
