[10:24] <akamaus> greetings
[10:25] <akamaus> I'm looking for a way to periodically run a job (chef-client) on ubuntu-9.10
[10:25] <akamaus> can upstart be used for that?
[10:25] <akamaus> or I should run a service through cron job?
[10:26] <ion> Use cron for now. Cron-like functionality is in TODO.
[10:28] <akamaus> ion, thanks
[12:53] <akamaus> I've setup a cron job to run a script containing "/usr/bin/service chef-client start &>/tmp/log" command. As a result I'm getting "exec: 129: start: not found". 
[12:54] <akamaus> what might be the reason?
[12:55] <akamaus> "/usr/bin/service chef-client start" runs ok from the root shell
[12:59] <akamaus> does upstart need setting a specific environment?
[13:08] <Keybuk> /sbin not in $PATH
[13:34] <akamaus> Keybuk, thanks for suggestion. Actually, I messed the things up. One should run "start chef-client" not "service chef-client start"
[13:37] <Keybuk> either works
[13:38] <akamaus> Keybuk, only if you have old style script in /etc/init.d
[13:38] <akamaus> I was too lazy to write one )
[16:31] <mgoetze> i'm having trouble with an ubuntu 10.04 server "sometimes" not starting the tty1 .. tty6 jobs. has anyone heard of something like that?
[16:31] <Keybuk> yes, there's an open bug
[16:31] <Keybuk> but without any solid information about what causes it
[16:32] <Keybuk> just wild theories
[16:32] <mgoetze> ok is there anything i could do to help you find information? (would e.g. a login on such a system help?)
[16:32] <mgoetze> also if you have the bug number i'd appreciate it
[16:34] <Keybuk> I'm not actively investigating it at the moment
[16:34] <mgoetze> some legacy init scripts seem to be affected as well, e.g. xinetd isn't running on this boot (on another boot xinetd was running but ttyX wasn't)
[16:34] <Keybuk> that is consistent with the reported problem
