[02:08] <Rudd-O> hello
[02:08] <Rudd-O> who is the Upstart author?  I'd like to contact him for an interview.
[02:09] <Rudd-O> hello?
[04:04] <cortana> patience
[08:51] <mildred> hi
[08:52] <mildred> hi
[08:54] <mildred> I try to make upstart work with ArchLinux distribution and I have a problem. /opt/upstart/sbin/shutdown does not generates a 'shutdown' event ...
[08:55] <mildred> is it normal ?
[08:55] <mildred> (so I can't reboot)
[08:55] <AlexExtreme> the shutdown event is not triggered in the latest version of upstart
[08:55] <AlexExtreme> how old are the jobs you are using?
[08:56] <mildred> from yesteday ...
[08:56] <mildred> so, what event is generated instead ?
[08:57] <AlexExtreme> a runlevel event is generated
[08:57] <mildred> it seems to be a 'runlevel 6' when I looked. But I don't like the runlevels (ArchLinux itself is using BSD style init with no runlevels)
[08:57] <mildred> why ?
[08:57] <mildred> is there a possibility to make it generate a shutdown event by default ?
[08:57] <AlexExtreme> a 'runlevel 0' or 'runlevel 6' event is generated depending on whether you reboot or halt
[08:57] <AlexExtreme> no, it won't
[08:58] <AlexExtreme> the runlevel name is just for compatibility, you don't *have* to implement runlevels
[08:59] <mildred> is it related to the compatibility mode in the configure options ?
[08:59] <AlexExtreme> no, even if you disable it the shutdown event isn't generated
[08:59] <AlexExtreme> that's just the event that's generated
[09:00] <mildred> ok, I will do with it, but do you know why the shutdown event was discarted ?
[09:00] <AlexExtreme> no
[09:00] <mildred> thanks
[09:01] <mildred> I'm going to reboot :)
[09:02] <AlexExtreme> just out of curiosity, why do you want to make upstart work on Arch? the arch guys have clearly said they don't think it's suitable here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31546
[09:02] <mildred> because I think an event based system is better for laptops
[09:03] <AlexExtreme> ok
[09:03] <mildred> there are many events and i think it can be better integrated
[09:04] <mildred> I replied here :) http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=244507
[09:04] <mildred> thanks for the topic, I'll take a look
[09:05] <mildred> I don't really seek improved performances
