| matt1s | I have a PHP script which forks into the background and daemonizes itself. Is it possible to control such a script through upstart? | 14:08 |
|---|---|---|
| ion | Upstart 0.6 is able to follow two specific cases of forking programs: ‘expect fork’ for a main program that forks precisely once and ‘expect daemon’ for one that forks precisely twice. Any other behavior, and you’ll confuse Upstart 0.6 and have to wait for 0.10. | 14:10 |
| matt1s | ion: I see, thanks. I think this script forks an arbitrary amount of times actually | 14:13 |
| ion | Sorry, i was unclear. If the main program does a fork-and-exit precisely once or twice, ‘expect fork’ and ‘expect daemon’ can be used. The program is then free to fork arbitrarily as long as the main process is still running. | 14:14 |
| matt1s | ion: I see, thanks for the insights | 15:26 |
| peeps[work] | hello, i've restarted my ubuntu box today, and at least a couple services(apache2 and boinc-client) have not started. I'm trying to figure out why. these were automatically starting fine before today | 21:40 |
| peeps[work] | i fonud this bug, but i'm not sure if it's related. they say there is a problem with 0.6.3.11, and that downgrading fixes it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/500520 | 21:41 |
| peeps[work] | though, i am on version 0.6.5-6 | 21:42 |
| peeps[work] | is it possible this same bug still exists in 0.6.5-6. i don't understand this bug report because it looks like the workaround is to downgrade upstart, but was the source of the bug ever resolved? | 21:43 |
| peeps[work] | cups was not started either. i'm tearing my hair out here, can anyone help? | 21:53 |
| peeps[work] | i will gladly post logs or whatever, but I don't know even know where to look or what information is useful in troubleshooting this issue. | 22:31 |
