| benc | I'm writing an upstart script for an erlang server | 13:21 |
|---|---|---|
| benc | the erlang server has a script that can start/stop/ping it | 13:21 |
| benc | how do I combine it with the upstart script? | 13:22 |
| benc | when using "status myserver" I guess I'm asking upstart what it thinks but this functionality is already implemented in the server itself | 13:22 |
| Keybuk | Upstart is designed with the idea that services don't just fall over by themselves and stay running | 13:26 |
| Keybuk | so you should find that your "status" script is unnecessary | 13:26 |
| Keybuk | gee, hang around for the answer, why don't you | 13:27 |

| benc | what is the upstart version on ubuntu 10.10? | 13:52 |
| Keybuk | benc: 0.6.7-1 currently | 13:57 |
| benc | thanks | 13:57 |
| Keybuk | benc: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart is the place to check that kind of thing out | 13:58 |
| benc | ok | 14:01 |
| Keybuk | benc: before you vanished earlier, I was going to suggest the following | 14:02 |
| Keybuk | exec command-to-start-erlang-server | 14:02 |
| Keybuk | pre-stop exec command-to-stop-erlang-server | 14:02 |
| Keybuk | that may or may not work for you | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | if it doesn't, you may be able to do | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | pre-start command-to-start-erlang-server | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | post-stop command-to-stop-erlang-server | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | (with no exec or script) | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | err pre-start exec, post-stop exec | 14:03 |
| Keybuk | but no exec/script on their own | 14:03 |
| benc | your first suggestion seems right | 14:03 |
| benc | what about status? | 14:03 |
| benc | which is ping in my server script | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | there isn't support for overriding that in 0.6 | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | because upstart assumes that if the pid is alive, then the service is running | 14:04 |
| benc | and logs? | 14:04 |
| benc | maybe if the pid is alive the erlang server is running. not sure | 14:04 |
| Keybuk | there's a conversation on ubuntu-devel about extending the "service" command to run custom status scripts | 14:05 |
| Keybuk | that might interest you | 14:05 |
| benc | on ubuntu-devel in irc? | 14:07 |
| JanC | the mailing list | 14:07 |
| benc | thanks. searching | 14:08 |
| pmatulis | is it possible to ensure a network-required upstart job (upon shutdown) will always have the network resources available? | 16:11 |

| soren | What would be a common reason why "stop foo" would hang? | 21:24 |
| JanC | upstart looking at the wrong PID ? | 21:27 |
| soren | Possibly. | 21:29 |
| soren | I guess this thing may not actually be daemonising properly. | 21:29 |
| soren | Ah... | 21:31 |
| soren | Right, of course. | 21:31 |
| * soren plays around a bit | 21:32 | |
| soren | Oh, I see what's going on. | 21:44 |
| soren | Darn it. | 21:44 |
| soren | I need a "expect <forks three times>". | 21:44 |
| JanC | soren: good luck with that ;) | 21:45 |
| ion | You need Upstart 0.10 :-) | 21:45 |
| SpamapS | soren: guessing you have a script + an oldschool daemon (forks twice) ? | 22:23 |
