[05:43] <bilalakhtar> People, 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?
[07:39] <saz> cool, this looks like the right channel
[07:40] <saz> is there a quick way to run upstart jobs as a user other than root?
[07:40] <saz> I don't want my daemon to have root privileges 
[08:33] <saz> ..nobody here?
[08:42] <ion> For now, use su.
[08:43] <saz> I've been trying that, I'm not sure if my issue is related to using su
[08:44] <saz> but for some reason, upstart seems to start lots and lots of instances of the binary
[08:44] <saz> instead of just one
[08:44] <saz> and stop doesn't work
[08:44] <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)
[08:46] <saz> any ideas?
[08:56] <saz> right
[08:56] <saz> looks like I have to put it in the pre-start script
[08:56] <saz> rather than just the script
[09:35]  * Keybuk smiles knowingly at Stef Bon's upstart-devel post
[09:47] <ion> :-)
[09:52] <ion> saz: What does your definition job look like?
[09:53] <saz> ion: I think I've fixed it now, but this is what it looks like: http://pastebin.com/JFtQnrUF
[09:54] <saz> the respawn doesn't seem to work though
[09:56] <saz> probably because the program is started in pre-start, rather than script
