[20:39] <markolya> Hi
[20:39] <markolya> I have ubuntu 10.04 on a server and experience pretty strange upstart behaviour
[20:40] <markolya> I have my own service config and it seems that whenever I do stop/start command just hangs until ctrl-c
[20:41] <markolya> even if I copy/paste known-to-work config there, like cron
[20:41] <markolya> moreover, if I save this service under different name it seems to work
[20:43] <markolya> I wasn't able to find any references to such issue
[20:45] <markolya> deleting service file doesn't help
[20:57] <sadmac> markolya: man 5 init, look at the expect stanza
[20:58] <markolya> thanks for the answer
[20:58] <markolya> I actually did look at it
[20:58] <sadmac> markolya: actually, that's not entirely consistent with the renaming thing..
[20:58] <sadmac> markolya: hmm
[20:58] <sadmac> markolya: what name?
[20:58] <markolya> yes
[20:58] <markolya> "kittens", if this matters
[20:59] <sadmac> but it works with other names?
[20:59] <markolya> basically I take contents of cron.conf, write it to kittens.conf and start kittens hangs
[20:59] <markolya> if I write it to kittens1.conf it doesn't hang
[21:00] <markolya> I mean start kittens1 doesn't hang
[21:00] <sadmac> that's strange
[21:00] <sadmac> in fact I have no explanation
[21:00] <markolya> it actually wasn't like this when I started yesterday
[21:00] <markolya> I think some of my changes to conf file brought it to such state...
[21:00] <sadmac> markolya: have you tried rebooting? maybe upstart is retaining some sort of state around the name "kittens"
[21:01] <sadmac> yeah
[21:01] <markolya> I do not really want to reboot this machine
[21:02] <markolya> it looks like that it is retaining some sort of state
[21:02] <sadmac> yeah.
[21:03] <sadmac> not a lot of ways to clear that unfortunately
[21:03] <markolya> I was just thing that while I have this state I can provide some information to original author since it looks like a bug
[21:03] <sadmac> its semi-well-known. The exact cause isn't certain but the preferred fix is a redesign of that portion of the code, so I don't think we need it much narrower
[21:04] <markolya> hmm... ok... is there any bug on launchpad for this so I could see changes on it and try fixes when they are released?
[21:05] <sadmac> not sure.
[21:07] <markolya> sorry, I'm new here... are you Scott James Remnant?
[21:07] <sadmac> markolya: no. Keybuk is. He's not on now
[21:08] <markolya> oh, thanks
[21:11] <markolya> I'll probably continue using rc.d for now, thanks for your help!
