[08:06] <twb> At http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging it talks about using a &> redirection; a bashism.
[08:06] <twb> Is that a documentation bug, or does upstart really use bash (and not dash)?
[08:09] <plautrba> twb: upstart execs /bin/sh -e -c <your script>
[08:09] <twb> Yeah, so I guess a Fedora user wrote that line

[09:17] <Homere> hello
[11:46] <silwol> hi all. is there a default way to go when I want to run my upstart task as non-root user? I found no useful documentation for that on the net.
[14:56] <Fantec> hello
[14:57] <Fantec> I have to rewrite an init script to adapt it to upstart
[14:58] <Fantec> the daemon needs disks to be detected but the number of disks and the device names may change (not all servers have exactly the same hardware)
[14:59] <Fantec> I presume there is no event like "disk detection is ended" and that I have to wait for a specific delay after the system has started ?
[16:23] <wasabi> There is no such thing as an end to disk detection.
[16:23] <wasabi> At any moment a new disk could be added.
[16:24] <wasabi> Most of that stuff is kicked off by udev, I believe.
[16:34] <Fantec> yes, I was trying to find out a way to delay some daemons

[17:32] <Keybuk> if you missed the Upstart Q&A session
[17:34] <sadmac> komputes: did you get my email? (did I in fact send you an email? I may have just imagined it).
[17:34] <sadmac> * Keybuk ^^
[17:34] <sadmac> komputes: sorry.
[17:56] <Keybuk> sadmac: I don't have an e-mail from you
[17:56] <Keybuk> that may be the answer to your question
[17:57] <sadmac> Keybuk: look at the latest news post on upstart.ubuntu.com, and the download page
[17:57] <sadmac> Keybuk: notice anything missing?
[18:00] <komputes> hi sadmac, i don't think i got your email what was it about?
[18:00] <sadmac> komputes: I meant to speak to Keybuk, I hilighted you by mistake.
[18:00] <komputes> sadmac: oh, ok
[18:03] <Keybuk> 0.6.6?
[18:03] <Keybuk> yeah, I can't login to that box right now <g>
[18:06] <samjam> does upstart of location aware events? Or do I just invent one. Frinstance I dont want autofs to start if I'm not at home because it will hang my login.
[18:06] <samjam> so do I just invent a process that emits the home event if it finds out I am at home?
[18:07] <samjam> (based on a result of examining the network)
[18:07] <sadmac> samjam: ....yes. That sort of feature would be far beyond the scope of upstart.
[18:07] <sadmac> samjam: you could certainly emit events based on whatever though.
[18:07] <samjam> but what I really want is a config way to add extra trigger dependancies to existing upstart jobs
[18:08] <sadmac> Keybuk: oh fun
[18:08] <samjam> so I dont have to keep editing the uipstart file everytime I upgrade
[18:08] <sadmac> samjam: start on starting ...
[18:09] <samjam> ah, so I start when autofs is starting
[18:09] <samjam> and can I stop autofs from starting?
[18:10] <samjam> (I haven't found any detailed up too date docs even on the ubuntu upstart wiki)
[18:10] <sadmac> samjam: yes.
[18:11] <samjam> thanks sadmac, is there a hint or example I can read?
[18:11] <sadmac> samjam: man 5 init, or whatever scripts shipped with your distro
[18:13] <samjam> cool, I was doing man upstart
[18:13] <samjam> thanks
[18:18] <samjam> sadmac, so the man page doesn't explain how a job that starts on something else starting can make it abort instead; do I just "stop autofs" which prevents it from starting?
[18:19] <sadmac> samjam: if the job fails to start autofs should not start
[18:19] <samjam> ah, so I just make my job fail
[18:20] <sadmac> yes
[18:20] <samjam> great, thanks
[18:39] <dekroning> hi
[18:40] <dekroning> i've got a touchscreen driver that needs to be loaded before Xorg is started, how can i make sure this driver is fully loaded before upstart launches GDM ?
[18:40] <sadmac> dekroning: depends on how your distro launches gdm
[18:41] <dekroning> sadmac: ok
[18:41] <dekroning> sadmac: i'll have to figure out how ubuntu 10.04 does this then
[18:41] <sadmac> dekroning: but in general loading the driver in a job with start on starting gdm-job will do it, where gdm-job is prefdm on fedora and something else on ubuntu
