[13:17] <keesj> What could I put in /etc/init/init.conf ?
[13:49] <shriven_> Hello. I'm having some trouble getting my upstart jobs to run on startup. Here is an example of one of my jobs: http://pastebin.com/d784c2e32
[13:49] <shriven_> it's meant to keep that ssh connection open so that the port forwards stay open.
[13:50] <shriven_> which seems to work great, but I have to start it manually.
[13:50] <shriven_> with initctl start "jobname"
[13:50] <shriven_> any ideas why this might not be working?
[14:01] <keesj> shriven_: I can't see the job the site is dead
[14:02] <keesj> try http://paste-it.net/
[14:02] <keesj> does it have a start on startup or similar
[14:03] <shriven_> yeah
[14:03] <shriven_> I've tried "start on startup"
[14:03] <shriven_> doesn't seem to do anything
[14:03] <keesj> and what does inictl list say ?
[14:04] <shriven_> possibly because it requires network and that starts it to soon? to test that I also tried some "start on network and filesystem" one sec and I'll get the paste bin.....
[14:04] <shriven_> initctl just says they are "waiting"
[14:04] <shriven_> and then as soon as I do initctl start on them they work fine
[14:06] <shriven_> keesj: here is the one I tried without "start on startup" seemed to make more sense: http://paste-it.net/public/ice1969/
[14:07] <shriven_> keesj: and here is the normal one that also doesn't work: http://paste-it.net/public/u8595e7/
[14:10] <shriven_> my /var/log/boot is empty
[14:10] <shriven_> I'm not really sure how to get any good information about what is happening. : (
[14:16] <keesj> you can try to start upstart with some extra -vvv
[14:16] <keesj> perhaps append console output to your jobs
[14:17] <shriven_> hmmm
[14:18] <shriven_> is there anyway I could force my jobs to log to somewhere like /var/log/upstart_jobs
[14:18] <shriven_> I mean, I know I could make the commands inside the jobs do that, but that wouldn't help me see what upstart is doing so much
[14:20] <shriven_> keesj: when you say adding extra verbosity, where would I do that?
[14:21] <keesj> it's a upstart "stanza"
[14:21] <shriven_> hmmmmm
[14:21] <keesj> so if you add "console output" in your job andy error /stdout from that jobs will be shown on the screen
[14:22] <shriven_> hmmmm
[14:22] <shriven_> would that show information during boot?
[14:22] <keesj> yes
[14:22] <shriven_> ok. I'll give that a try.
[14:23] <shriven_> can't reboot now as it's our router firewall. : ( thanks for the idea I'll try it later.
[14:23] <keesj> :p
[14:23] <keesj> be carefull
