bilalakhtarPeople, I have a problem. I am running lucid. Exim4 starts on boot, I want to stop that, removed runlevel scripts using update-rc.d and still it starts on boot. What do I do?05:43
sazcool, this looks like the right channel07:39
sazis there a quick way to run upstart jobs as a user other than root?07:40
sazI don't want my daemon to have root privileges 07:40
saz..nobody here?08:33
ionFor now, use su.08:42
sazI've been trying that, I'm not sure if my issue is related to using su08:43
sazbut for some reason, upstart seems to start lots and lots of instances of the binary08:44
sazinstead of just one08:44
sazand stop doesn't work08:44
saz(I'm trying to use it to start vncserver, it spawns 99 instances of vncserver, then complains that it can't spawn anymore due to vncserver's limit of 99)08:44
sazany ideas?08:46
sazright08:56
sazlooks like I have to put it in the pre-start script08:56
sazrather than just the script08:56
* Keybuk smiles knowingly at Stef Bon's upstart-devel post09:35
ion:-)09:47
ionsaz: What does your definition job look like?09:52
sazion: I think I've fixed it now, but this is what it looks like: http://pastebin.com/JFtQnrUF09:53
sazthe respawn doesn't seem to work though09:54
sazprobably because the program is started in pre-start, rather than script09:56
