| lcapriotti | hi, what would be the best option to start an interactive script at boot with upstart? | 15:39 |
|---|---|---|
| lcapriotti | ie something similar to 'su -c "/usr/bin/ascript" -l' ? | 15:40 |
| sadmac2 | lcapriotti: you would need to run it with the console output stanza | 15:41 |
| lcapriotti | ... any online examples ? | 15:42 |
| lcapriotti | tks btw | 15:42 |
| sadmac2 | start on startup | 15:43 |
| sadmac2 | console output | 15:43 |
| sadmac2 | exec /usr/bin/ascript | 15:43 |
| sadmac2 | ^^there's an example :) | 15:43 |
| lcapriotti | cool, it works :) tks a lot | 15:59 |
| lcapriotti | now for a more advanced one: what if I need to stop usplash before the script? | 16:02 |
| sadmac2 | lcapriotti: you would add: | 16:03 |
| sadmac2 | pre-start exec /whatever/thing/controls/usplash --stop | 16:03 |
| sadmac2 | or something to that effect | 16:03 |
| sadmac2 | not an Ubuntu guy ;) | 16:03 |
| lcapriotti | nice, seems easy once you know what you are doing ;) | 16:04 |
| Keybuk | or add "on starting your-script" to /etc/init/usplash.conf ;) | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | pre-start exec stop usplash | 16:06 |
| Keybuk | would work too | 16:06 |
| lcapriotti | I prefer not to modify a system script, I'll go for "pre-start exec stop usplash" | 16:08 |
| lcapriotti | tks a million to both of you! | 16:09 |
| sadmac2 | np | 16:09 |

| milanbv | Keybuk: Hi again! | 20:29 |
| milanbv | I've finally come to working on upstart support in the stb without having had the occasion to talk with you about it :-) | 20:30 |
| milanbv | ...and sadly it doesn't seem we share the same availability hours | 20:32 |
| Keybuk | stb? | 20:37 |
| milanbv | system-tools-backends -;) | 20:39 |
| Keybuk | ah right | 20:39 |
| milanbv | have you seen bug 435935? | 20:39 |
| Keybuk | no, I haven't seen that bug | 20:40 |
| milanbv | that's basically about implementing a rough upstart support, so that services-admin can be shipped in Karmic without breaking things | 20:41 |
| milanbv | I have a patch that works with init.d scripts in Karmic (not upstart jobs yet) | 20:42 |
| milanbv | I'd need some feedback to know if that's good enough that I can release the stb 2.8.2, so that it can go into Karmic | 20:42 |
| Keybuk | Karmic is almost past Beta | 20:47 |
| milanbv | yeah, but that one kind of problematic | 20:49 |
| milanbv | we can't break services-admin more than it is now :-) | 20:49 |
| milanbv | sorry, my network connection is really bad | 20:51 |
| milanbv | (public WiFi, not even allowed to use IRC directly) | 20:51 |
| milanbv | did you say something since 21:48? | 20:51 |
| ion | Hi Keybuk :-) | 21:34 |
| Keybuk | hi | 21:40 |
| ion | Is there a way to subscribe to all current and future Upstart blueprints in Launchpad? | 22:18 |
| Keybuk | probably not | 22:21 |
| Keybuk | blueprint is very underdeveloped | 22:21 |
| Keybuk | I don't even use it now | 22:21 |
| === robbiew is now known as robbiew-afk | ||
| ion | Any interesting decisions/news/something from LPC? :-) | 23:42 |
| ion | The most recent news at the linuxplumbersconf.org: LPC Registration opens 7:30AM PT Wednesday (come early!) | 23:43 |
| Keybuk | haha | 23:44 |
| Keybuk | no, it wasn't a great conf this time | 23:44 |
| Keybuk | casey and I hung out a bit | 23:44 |
| Keybuk | bounced a few ideas | 23:44 |
| ion | Has anyone came up with a good name for the ‘like while, but start on starting and stop on stopped’ stanza for upstart+1 yet? :-) | 23:45 |
| Keybuk | nope | 23:45 |
| Keybuk | but I am going to get rid of pre-start, post-stop, etc. from the state machine :p | 23:45 |
| ion | Why? | 23:46 |
| Keybuk | because we don't need them anymore | 23:46 |
| Keybuk | the blocking stuff added to events really gets rid of the need | 23:46 |
| Keybuk | so, let's say we simplify a job down to just a process, and events | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | we have | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | [ pre-start event ] [ post-start event ] [ pre-stop event ] [ post-stop event ] | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | [ process being run here ] | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | how would we do a pre-start script? | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | easy! | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | on job pre-start | 23:47 |
| Keybuk | task | 23:48 |
| Keybuk | exec ... | 23:48 |
| Keybuk | that would block the pre-start event, so block the process being run ;) | 23:48 |
| Keybuk | which is exactly what we want | 23:48 |
| ion | In that case, it would be nice to be able to put multiple job definitions to a single file, so you’d have the stuff that e.g. does mkdir -p /var/run/dbus in the same file as the stuff that runs dbus. | 23:49 |
| ion | Ah, i might have misunderstood. It would still be possible to have pre-start, post-stop stuff in the job definition, it would be just an abstraction that works based on those events? | 23:50 |
| Keybuk | exactly! | 23:50 |
| Keybuk | even better, it'd be possible to put *any* custom sub-job in the definition | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | if we make that really easy, and work well | 23:51 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: the only downside is the hideous things I know people will do with this :) | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | sadmac: they can do them already | 23:51 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: on started pre-start job | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | just in separate job files ;) | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | sadmac: I kinda like that <g> | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | while apache pre-start | 23:51 |
| Keybuk | (while the apache pre-start script is running) | 23:52 |
| ion | :-) | 23:52 |
| sadmac | that one's ok | 23:52 |
| sadmac | actually there'd be no started pre-start, since that would imply a started started, which would imply a started started started... | 23:52 |
| Keybuk | or pre-start implies pre-start pre-start implies pre-start pre-start pre-start | 23:53 |
| Keybuk | on portmap pre-start pre-start pre-start pre-start | 23:53 |
| Keybuk | we should rename that to "turtle" | 23:53 |
| ion | ‘while’ for ‘start on started, stop on stopping’; the Old English word ‘hwile’ for ‘start on starting, stop on stopped’ | 23:54 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: rename which? | 23:55 |
| Keybuk | on portmap turtle turtle turtle turtle turtle turtle turtle turtle | 23:55 |
| Keybuk | turtles all the way! | 23:55 |
| sadmac | gdb.fail++ | 23:55 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: ah | 23:56 |
| ion | ‘surrounding’? | 23:56 |
| sadmac | ion: you mean as a name for "before"? | 23:56 |
| ion | I’m not sure i like ‘before’. It only means, well, before, which is only the starting point. | 23:57 |
| sadmac | ion: me neither, we've been trying to rename it for months :) | 23:57 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: actually, we may not need before anymore with the new model | 23:58 |
| sadmac | Keybuk: while dbus / while dbus running | 23:58 |
| Keybuk | something like that yeah | 23:59 |
