| tauren | i'm considering migrating an init.d script to upstart. I've looked through the files in /etc/init, but I don't really get what gets run when you stop a service. | 13:04 |
|---|---|---|
| tauren | basically, my init.d script sets up a bunch of iptables rules, and when it is stopped, I want to remove them. | 13:04 |
| tauren | i see some scripts don't have a script or exec, they only have pre-start and post-stop. Maybe that's how I need to do it. | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | put them in a post-stop script | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | yes | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | then your job is "running" when the rules are in place | 13:11 |
| tauren | Keybuk, ok, cool. | 13:11 |
| Keybuk | even though there's no process associated | 13:11 |
| tauren | that makes sense now. | 13:11 |
| tauren | in my init.d script, I have another command that I can run: service firewall report | 13:12 |
| tauren | can I add new "commands" with upstart? | 13:12 |
| tauren | Keybuk: basically, the report command just does: iptables -nvx -t filter -L ACCOUNTING | 13:13 |
| Keybuk | not yet | 13:15 |
| Keybuk | it's planned | 13:15 |
| tauren | Keybuk, ok, thanks | 13:16 |
| tauren | Keybuk: any reason why I'm not getting any echo output? I've got console output in my firewall.conf file and my pre-start script contains echo "Test", but doing start firewall doesn't respond with "Test" | 13:30 |
| tauren | oh, I see. Including "console output" makes the output go to the console. duh. But when I remove that, I still don't see the echo output at the command line when I run "start firewall" | 13:57 |
| Keybuk | removing that makes the output go to /dev/null | 14:01 |
| tauren | Keybuk, is there a way to get echos to be output then? Besides to the console or /dev/null? | 15:39 |
| Keybuk | no | 15:39 |
| tauren | i've got my upstart script working perfectly, and am currently doing: echo "Informational message" >> /tmp/firewall.out | 15:40 |
| tauren | but i would prefer the output to be on stdout. | 15:40 |
| tauren | ok then. thanks anyway! | 15:40 |
| Keybuk | right | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | but which stdout? :p | 15:41 |
| tauren | yeah, i see your point. i mean if someone enters "start firewall" via an ssh session, they should see the output. but i wasn't thinking this would also be run at other times too. | 15:42 |

| tauren | what's the best way to start a service running as a particular user? | 21:39 |
| ion | su | 21:40 |
| tauren | i mean, i will create a new file /etc/init/jetty.conf, but I want the script that starts jetty to run as a user on the system. | 21:41 |
| === rberger_ is now known as rberger | ||
| tauren | Here is my upstart conf file: http://pastie.org/865735 | 22:28 |
| tauren | when I do a "start jetty", a java process gets started | 22:28 |
| tauren | and it reports that it is started with a pid | 22:28 |
| tauren | but "status jetty" says it isn't running | 22:28 |
| tauren | and "stop jetty" doesn't work | 22:29 |
| tauren | how can I make this script start jetty as a user, and then be able to stop it by running "/home/$username/jetty/stop.sh" as the user? | 22:29 |
| Keybuk | "expect fork" or "expect daemon" | 22:41 |
