| brendan_ | anyone around for a (hopefully) easy question? | 21:39 |
|---|---|---|
| brendan_ | well.... i'll just throw it out here, in hopes that someone takes note. :) | 21:42 |
| brendan_ | i'm using upstart inside a xen domU | 21:42 |
| brendan_ | (aside: works great, very happy with it) | 21:42 |
| brendan_ | however, i've noticed something wierd when using the "console output" stanza | 21:43 |
| brendan_ | if the script runs during the startup phase (ie, "start on startup") then everything works great | 21:44 |
| brendan_ | if i switch to runlevel 2 (by calling /sbin/runlevel --set=2) then i start getting the "staircase effect" for anything starting up afterwards | 21:45 |
| brendan_ | i've tried setting "stty onclr", but it doesn't work. (capturing the output of stty -a shows that the setting has been set) | 21:45 |
| brendan_ | obviously, this is just a nit-picky display issue since there is no functional problem with upstart running | 21:46 |
| brendan_ | but i was hoping someone had an idea of something else i could try | 21:46 |
| brendan_ | i can run "tput hpa 0" to reset the line to the left everytime before i echo something out, but that only works for things i intentionall echo | 21:47 |
| brendan_ | STDERR output still ends up with the staircase effect | 21:48 |
| brendan_ | any ideas? | 21:48 |
| keesj | brendan_: perhaps it is a tty that gets started on runlevel 2 , the replacement inits do grep /etc/inittab and do perform kinky actions | 21:48 |
| brendan_ | would upstart itself be doing that behind the scenes? | 21:49 |
| keesj | yes, can be | 21:50 |
| brendan_ | the only scripts upstart is running are the ones i've placed in event.d - the ones that call external scripts in init.d have all been replaced | 21:51 |
| keesj | in that case I guess not. I have no idea :p | 21:53 |
| brendan_ | heh. drat | 21:53 |
| keesj | but apparently you do use the "compatible" scripts. As I understand it "runlevel" really is a system v scripts | 21:55 |
| brendan_ | is there a better way to switch the runlevel? | 21:56 |
| brendan_ | or is the idea that runlevels will disappear completely with upstart eventually? | 21:57 |
| keesj | the whole concept of runlevels as numbers is "system 5 init" | 21:57 |
| keesj | brendan_: I am not a developer of upstart so I can not say | 21:57 |
| keesj | but yes. the idea is to let event perform the right actions | 21:57 |
| brendan_ | kreesj: ah. thanks | 21:58 |
