[17:48] <kristofor> hi all, can somebody tell me how I would go about running a bash script as a specific user in upstart?
[17:54] <sadmac2> kristofor: su
[19:39] <Terces> I just created an upstart task in the /etc/event.d directory, but when I "sudo start taskname" it says "start: Unknown job:". A google search for "upstart start: Unknown job:" didn't turn up anything useful. Can anyone suggest how I would go about finding my problem (are there error logs, etc.)?
[19:40] <ion> It’s /etc/init, unless you’re running very old software.
[19:40] <ion> Parse errors are logged to syslog.
[19:40] <Terces> oh, thanks.
[19:41] <Terces> trying to fix it now.
[19:41] <Terces> that was it/
[19:42] <Terces> I was using documentation I found online that must have been outdated.
[19:42] <ion> man 5 init is a good starting point.
[19:43] <Terces> thanks ion
