[03:28] <twb> I'm rolling Ubuntu Lucid live images.  It seems that in the last week of so, /etc/rc.local stopped being run at the end of the boot process.  Any idea why?
[03:29] <sadmac> twb: more an ubuntu question
[03:29] <twb> Failing that, where does upstart invoke rc.local in its rc compatibility?
[03:30] <sadmac> twb: still an ubuntu question, as upstart the program doesn't invoke it at all (one of the distro's job definitions should run it)
[03:30] <twb> Fair enough.
[03:31] <twb> I'm kinda surprised that sysv integration wouldn't be portable (and thus implemented by upstart rather than each distro), though.
[03:31] <sadmac> twb: there's a lot of shared code. Upstart has some things for utmp manipulation etc.
[03:54] <twb> I found the problem.  I was still passing "single" to the kernel.
[03:55] <sadmac> that'll do it
[04:38] <rberger> Is there a way to see the output of the exec line of an upstart job? I'm having a failure in the exec and can't tell what the problem is
[05:18] <sadmac> rberger: you can redirect it with >
[05:26] <rberger> It looks like it had to be >> /tmp/upstart.log 2>&1
[05:27] <rberger> exec foo >> /tmp/upstart.log 2>&1
[14:39] <Keybuk> aclocal: overwriting `m4/libnih.m4' with `/usr/share/aclocal/libnih.m4'
[14:39] <Keybuk> argh
[14:39] <Keybuk> no, don't do that!
[14:50] <sadmac> Keybuk: were you going to look over the new version of the nih_parse patch or are you holding out for the next one?
[14:50] <Keybuk> I will do
[14:50] <Keybuk> though I'd still like to see some examples of it in action
[14:50] <Keybuk> so I can step through it with gdb and understand how it works :p
[14:51] <sadmac> Keybuk: the test suite :) Though since the API is more or less what I want I could go ahead and write nih_parse_tool.
[14:51] <sadmac> (does roughly what yacc does)
[22:54] <xorl> whats the proper way with upstart to 'restart' a daemon process?
[23:05] <ion> Run ‘restart job’.
