| PovAddict | if I add my own upstart job, the command under "exec" will be run when the job starts; what does upstart do when the job is stopped? | 02:30 |
|---|---|---|
| sadmac | PovAddict: kills the process that resulted from the exec | 02:31 |
| PovAddict | SIGTERM? | 02:31 |
| sadmac | I believe so | 02:32 |
| PovAddict | can it be made to call a custom command on stop? | 02:33 |
| sadmac | PovAddict: not sure if the current version can. You can make pre-stop do it, but I'm not sure if upstart will read it as a failure. | 02:33 |
| PovAddict | are there hooks to make 'status' give service-specific information? | 02:34 |
| sadmac | not at present | 02:34 |
| PovAddict | to run a service as a different user do I just use 'su' in the exec, or is there specific support for that? | 02:35 |
| sadmac | just use su | 02:35 |
| PovAddict | what about cwd? | 02:35 |
| sadmac | I want to say there's a stanza for that.... | 02:36 |
| PovAddict | heh, undocumented-dont-rely-on-it stanza? | 02:36 |
| sadmac | same as all of them | 02:36 |
| PovAddict | all of them? I'm sure you don't consider 'exec' undocumented and shouldn't be relied on! :) | 02:37 |
| sadmac | PovAddict: chdir | 02:37 |
| PovAddict | I don't want to use things that may break later; I guess I'll just use a 'script' with cd and su | 02:37 |
| sadmac | PovAddict: upstream's philosophy (and by upstream I mean Keybuk) is that until 1.0, anything is subject to change | 02:37 |
| sadmac | really. AN-E-THING | 02:38 |
| * PovAddict >:o's at the lack of upstream config syntax highlighting in vim | 02:38 | |
| sadmac | why? 0.10 is going to have a different syntax anyway | 02:39 |
| PovAddict | heh | 02:39 |
| PovAddict | the current sysv scripts are set so it's killed on runlevels 0 1 6 and started on 2 3 4 5 | 02:43 |
| PovAddict | that's mapped to "stop on runlevel 0" etc, right? | 02:43 |
| sadmac | stop on runlevel [016] | 02:43 |
| PovAddict | note I have a relatively old version, 0.3.9 :$ | 02:44 |
| sadmac | that's what ships in ubuntu/fedora | 02:45 |
| PovAddict | yep | 02:45 |
| PovAddict | but since topic mentioned 0.5.1 *points* | 02:45 |
| PovAddict | and I have an old Ubuntu, I thought maybe newer Ubuntu versions had newer upstart | 02:45 |
| sadmac | I don't think any distro is planning to ship a 0.5 at any point. everyone's skipping to 0.10 | 02:47 |
| PovAddict | docs mention /etc/init/jobs.d | 02:54 |
| PovAddict | /etc/init doesn't exist here, but I have stuff in /etc/event.d; should I put my job in there? | 02:55 |
| PovAddict | is the code in the script supposed to fork and return? initctl start mythingy seems to be blocked, as if it was waiting for the script to terminate | 02:59 |
| sadmac | no forking | 03:02 |
| sadmac | and /etc/init/jobs.d is the 0.5 location | 03:02 |
| PovAddict | I see | 03:02 |
| PovAddict | any idea why my 'start' blocked? | 03:02 |
| sadmac | do you have a 'service' or 'respawn' stanza? | 03:03 |
| PovAddict | neither is mentioned in the documentation I'm reading :] so, no | 03:05 |
| * PovAddict goes to the wiki | 03:05 | |
| PovAddict | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas ok, so chdir *is* documented | 03:08 |
| PovAddict | sort of :) | 03:08 |
| PovAddict | adding 'service' worked \o/ thanks | 03:08 |
| PovAddict | i love the fact that it reloads config instantly using inotify | 03:09 |
