[00:05] <maek> hi. Im a but confused on upstart. when I do status mysql I get this - mysql stop/post-start, (post-start) process 651
[00:05] <maek> what does that mean?
[00:09] <mbiebl> maek: pastebin your mysql job file, please
[00:10] <maek> mbiebl: whats that? the /etc/init/mysql.conf file?
[00:10] <mbiebl> yes
[00:11] <maek> mbiebl: http://gist.github.com/467427
[00:19] <mbiebl> maek: looks like the job is hanging in th post-start script 
[00:20] <mbiebl> I assume you have a /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=$HOME/debian.cnf ping process running
[00:20] <maek> mbiebl: there is no process with the word 'mysql
[00:20] <maek> mysql running
[00:21] <maek> ps ef |grep mysql shows only my grep
[00:21] <mbiebl> you should show all processes
[00:21] <mbiebl> something like ps aux
[00:22] <maek> mbiebl: same, just my grep
[00:22] <maek> I thought ef shows everying in linux
[00:24] <mbiebl> maek: that is the process with id 651
[00:24] <mbiebl> s/that/what/
[00:24] <maek> root       651  0.1  0.0   1828   524 ?        Ss   15:59   0:01 /bin/sh -e /proc/self/fd/8
[00:25] <mbiebl> could you show the child processes of 651
[00:27] <mbiebl> this should help you find out, where it got stuck
[00:30] <maek> mbiebl: pstree pid is the only way I can think to do that. is that correct?
[00:31] <mbiebl> that should work
[00:31] <maek> cdickerson@isodb02:/etc/mysql$ sudo pstree 651 sh───sleep
[00:49] <maek> mbiebl: got it working, thanks.
[07:14] <twb> With a job like rc, which terminates, how do I tell the difference between "stop/waiting" (I haven't run yet) and "stop/waiting" (I ran, finished, and stopped) ?
