[23:44] <tanepiper> hi, can someone help me with this: https://gist.github.com/2d1703cede3597abd595
[23:44] <tanepiper> if i try start on startup, i get an error that /var isn't mounted
[23:45] <tanepiper> however if I manually call start quartermaster, the app starts fine
[23:51] <tanepiper> oh looks like i solved it :)  start on mounted; env MOUNTPOINT=/var
[23:52] <ion> Ubuntu? ‘start on filesystem’
[23:52] <ion> Such an ‘env’ stanza doesn’t really do anything except set the value of MOUNTPOINT for your scripts.
[23:53] <ion> HOME is something you could use env for.
[23:53] <tanepiper> well that's working as well, thanks :)
[23:54] <ion> ‘start on mounted’ probably never really worked. If it happened to get started at the right time based on it, you were just lucky. :-)
[23:54] <ion> Also, 2>&1 before 1>… makes stderr go to stdout and stdout go to the logfile. You probably want to make 2 a copy of 1 after 1 has been redirected to a file.
[23:56] <tanepiper> yea, i started with a copy & paste job for running nodejs but that just wasn't working.  I'll definetly read up more on the upstart blog
[23:58] <tanepiper> so 1> /var/log/foo > &2  ?
[23:58] <ion> >>/var/log/foo 2>&1
[23:59] <tanepiper> gotch
