| _Andrew | Hi | 03:07 |
|---|---|---|
| _Andrew | I have an upstart script I have made but it's not working on startup http://paste.ubuntu.com/351057/ | 03:08 |
| _Andrew | Am I doing this right? I'm trying to execute a program under a specific user | 03:08 |
| JanC | _Andrew: 'exec' has a '-u' option on your system ? | 04:24 |
| _Andrew | I just copied it from so other upstart script | 04:25 |
| _Andrew | I have no idea | 04:25 |
| JanC | from which one? | 04:25 |
| JanC | you'll need to use something like su or sudo IMO | 04:26 |
| JanC | unless you do have an 'exec' with that option of course | 04:29 |
| _Andrew | http://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/TextBasedLinuxInstall?highlight=%28upstart%29 | 04:30 |
| _Andrew | I got it from here | 04:30 |
| JanC | well, they *do* use sudo there, right? | 04:31 |
| JanC | also, the 4 first lines can be written as one: start on runlevel [2345] | 04:33 |
| ion | Also, [-f foo] is invalid (unless you have a command called [-f), you’ll want [ -f foo ] | 04:34 |
| ion | Will startup.sh stay in the foreground until shutdown.sh is called? | 04:35 |
| ion | (The job you pasted expects it to.) | 04:36 |
| _Andrew | I think so yes | 04:36 |
| _Andrew | Should it not stay in the foreground? | 04:38 |
| ion | It should. | 04:39 |
| ion | To clarify: it should stay in the foreground. :-) | 04:40 |
| JanC | ion: well, that or you need extra stuff in that file ;) | 04:40 |
| ion | A future version of Upstart will properly track daemonizing things, but for now, it’s often best just to have it stay in the foreground. | 04:40 |
| ion | janc: Yeah, and you also need to know exactly what you’re doing in order not to break Upstart’s current fork-tracking code. :-) | 04:41 |
| JanC | _Andrew: did you read init(5) ? | 04:41 |
| JanC | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man5/init.5.html for a web version | 04:43 |
| JanC | it's the best docs upstart has currently, I think ;) | 04:44 |
| _Andrew | ok thanks gys | 04:44 |
| JanC | _Andrew: I also see that dropbox example is for versions of Ubuntu < 9.10 | 04:45 |
| JanC | the script needs to go into /etc/init/ now, not /etc/event.d/ | 04:46 |
| JanC | so, depending on what version of upstart you use... | 04:46 |
| _Andrew | Our server is LTS so I think it's in the right place, but thanks for letting me know | 04:47 |
| JanC | _Andrew: ah, then the manpage I pointing to might not work | 04:47 |
| JanC | I'm not sure if there is much documentation for that version of upstart | 04:48 |
| JanC | _Andrew: you can still use sysvinit init scripts though, if you are more familiar with those | 04:48 |
| _Andrew | I think this should be working now. I'll let you know if I have any other probs that I can't figure out | 04:49 |

| ion | Welcome back | 13:44 |

| Keybuk | Happy new tiger | 13:44 |
| Md | Keybuk: can you remind me the current plan wrt upstart and network up/down events? | 13:44 |
| Keybuk | ion: what about them? | 13:44 |
| Keybuk | ion: ah, amusing gap for new year calcuations :p | 13:45 |
| ion | keybuk: Nothing really. It was just interesting to learn there are 29 days in the zeroth month of the year. | 13:45 |
| ion | Beginning with the 0th day, of course. | 13:45 |
| Keybuk | Md: I don't have any current plans fori t | 13:45 |
| Md | Keybuk: I do... what do you think about a long-lived daemon which will listen to interface events on the netlink socket and feed back "cleaned up" events to upstart after applying a "carrier delay" and/or debouncing? | 13:46 |
| Keybuk | Md: that's probably the right kind of thing | 13:47 |
| Keybuk | though I don't know what you mean by "carrier delay" | 13:47 |
| Md | oh, it's an IOS feature which delays up/down events for a few ms, to prevent flapping the IGP if the physical layer bounces | 13:48 |

| btm | Md: bonding uses similar delays to deal with network equipment bring a link up before it is ready to recieve and pass traffic, which is another applicable analogy IRT upstart. | 23:55 |
