| mase_wk | can upstart be used to monitor a file event ( like a file being modified) ? | 00:54 |
|---|---|---|
| ion | mase_wk: Not yet, but that’s in TODO. | 01:02 |
| mase_wk | ion: thanks | 01:03 |
| wasabi_ | So. I just had a problem where I booted up my server, and init stopped starting proceses before I had a usable console. | 05:15 |
| wasabi_ | Looks like it got hung up trying to contact dbus. | 05:15 |
| wasabi_ | single mode was in a similar shape. break=mount got me in, and I just removed dbus | 05:16 |
| wasabi_ | And now it boots. | 05:16 |
| wasabi_ | Guess if I install dbus while the system is running, init will get -USR1 and attempt to connect... and maybe freeze in the same way | 05:16 |
| wasabi_ | But I should still have a system usable enough to debug it. ;) | 05:16 |
| wasabi_ | init: Unable to connect to the system bus: Connection ":1.0" is not allowed to own the service "com.ubuntu.Upstart" due to security policies in the configuration file | 05:23 |
| wasabi_ | imaginging there is supposed to be some sort of system.d/upstart.conf | 05:25 |

| echa | hi there | 22:13 |
| echa | i'd like to add a job in my ubuntu 9.10 startup to run an ethtool setting | 22:13 |
| echa | is there a new way to do this? | 22:13 |
| mtd | can/should I use upstart to communicate between non-root processes (source daemon fires event IM_HOME, which causes upstart to start a few daemons, for example), or is that better a D-Bus thing? | 22:14 |
| echa | in debian i guess i would make a init.d script | 22:14 |
| mtd | echa: sure, make an /etc/event.d script that runs on runlevels 2-5 | 22:15 |
| echa | ok | 22:18 |
| echa | thanks | 22:18 |
| mtd | echa: echo -e "start on stopped rcS\nconsole output\n/run/my/job/here" > /etc/event.d/my-startup-job-config | 22:19 |
| * mtd supposed rcS is a bit more precisely "startup" | 22:20 | |
| JanC | upstart in Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't use /etc/event.d/ | 22:23 |
| echa | ? | 22:24 |
| JanC | it uses /etc/init/ | 22:28 |
| JanC | read the manpages ;) | 22:28 |
| echa | so i just use /etc/init.d/myscript and link to it in rc5.d/? | 22:31 |
| echa | that's the old way to do it | 22:32 |
| echa | i thought upstart had changed all that, i'm confused | 22:32 |
| ion | /etc/init ≠ /etc/init.d | 22:32 |
| echa | ok, i see, so why are there still init.d scripts - is it just that not everthing has been migrated | 22:35 |
| echa | ? | 22:36 |
| ion | Basically, yes. Also, everything doesn’t *need* to be migrated. There are benefits from migration, of course, but $randomsoftware that used to work with sysvinit will not be broken by upstart. | 22:37 |
| echa | and i still don't know where to put my ethtool script. i'd like to know where to put the setting | 22:37 |
| ion | What does the script to? | 22:38 |
| echa | ethtool -s eth0 wol g | 22:38 |
| echa | just enables wake on lan for my ethernet adaptor | 22:38 |
| ion | Something like | 22:39 |
| ion | start on net-device-added INTERFACE=eth0 | 22:39 |
| ion | task | 22:39 |
| echa | hm | 22:39 |
| ion | exec ethtool -s "$INTERFACE" wol g | 22:39 |
| ion | in /etc/init/ethtool-wol.conf | 22:39 |
| echa | right | 22:40 |
| ion | My personal preference would be /etc/init/local/ethtool-wol.conf for easy access to my personal jobs. | 22:40 |
| echa | right | 22:40 |
| echa | keep them separate | 22:40 |
| echa | where can i find a reference for the device triggers? | 22:41 |
| ion | upstart-udev-bridge listens to udev events and emits upstart events with the format $SUBSYSTEM-device-{added,removed} | 22:41 |
| echa | oh i see | 22:41 |
| echa | ok | 22:41 |
| ion | Its documentation could use some help. | 22:41 |
| echa | hm | 22:42 |
| echa | i'll try | 22:44 |
| mtd | JanC: thanks, I was reading the Fedora manpages since I didn't have non-google access to the ubuntu ones (yeah I know echa asked about ubuntu...) | 22:52 |
| JanC | what do you mean by non-google access ? | 22:53 |
| mtd | JanC: presumably the ubuntu man pages are indexed by google a few times. | 22:54 |
| JanC | they are at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 22:54 |
| * mtd nods. | 22:55 | |
