[15:43] does 0.3.9 have the ability to start a standard program as a daemon (do the terminal detaching and whatnot)? I've not been able to get that to work... [15:46] UnwashedMeme: If the program doesn't fork, it should be no problem [15:48] mbiebl: it doesn't fork, but all i ever get is that it exited with error. Can I have the console logged so i can figure out why? [15:50] logd is broken, bu "console output" [15:50] should work, when you are on the console [15:51] what console should that go to? the one from which i do initctl start? [15:53] just try it ;-) [15:53] yeah [15:53] and i don't get anything [15:54] well, i get initctl's output [15:54] but nothing beyond its reporting [15:56] are you starting it from a tty or a xterm? [15:56] over ssh... [15:57] so a xterm i suppose? [15:57] yeah, that doesn't work [15:57] from an actual console might provide better results? [15:58] yes [15:59] unfortunately not, the same output as from ssh. [16:01] Then your process does not produce any output [16:01] could you pastebin your job file [16:02] yeah, give me one minute [16:06] mbiebl: http://pastebin.com/d58a3983 [16:07] I've been trying various combinations of daemon (which i take is incorrect because this doesn't fork), service, and console [16:09] annotated with a version of detachtty that does http://pastebin.com/d3707d019 [16:12] UnwashedMeme: does it work if you specify the path to the binary directly in exec [16:13] i'll try [16:13] instead of building it via env variables [16:14] same results [16:18] maybe there is a problem with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH [16:19] you could try to put all this inside a script ... end script section [16:19] and if you want to monitor the daemon, use exec, to replace the current shell and respawn instead of service [16:26] mbiebl: putting everything in the script (vars and start) didn't seem to change anything. I'm going to mess with it more later, thanks a lot for the help.
