| gp5st1 | i added a upstart script, but i can't see it with service | 02:32 |
|---|---|---|
| gp5st1 | i added the script to /etc/init | 02:33 |
| gp5st1 | http://pastebin.com/vLqv6bMu | 02:38 |
| gp5st1 | is the script | 02:38 |
| gp5st1 | it's at /etc/init/xvfb.conf | 02:38 |
| gp5st1 | 644 perms root:root like the rest of the scripts | 02:39 |
| ion | Is there an error message in syslog? | 02:48 |
| gp5st1 | not that i can find | 02:48 |
| gp5st1 | is there anything specific i can grep for? I tried service and ubuntu | 02:49 |
| gp5st1 | err upstart | 02:49 |
| gp5st1 | ion: also tried grepping for init and the name of the file | 02:53 |
| gp5st1 | ok, so now i'm getting the processes respawning too fast and always dieing with a status of 127; is that upstart or me? (e.g.: syntax error?) | 03:14 |
| ion | script | 03:16 |
| ion | exec >/tmp/xvfb.log 2>&1 | 03:16 |
| ion | set -x | 03:16 |
| ion | exec Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1600x1200x16 | 03:16 |
| ion | end script | 03:16 |
| gp5st1 | thanks ion | 03:16 |
| gp5st1 | why would i get permission denied when i try to source (.) a file? | 03:27 |
| gp5st1 | i removed the exec before the . now it just complains that [[ isn't valid | 03:38 |
| gp5st1 | so i take it you can't source anything in upstart? | 03:39 |
| ion | [[ is a bashism. | 03:39 |
| gp5st1 | i'm trying to get rvm to work fwiw | 03:39 |
| gp5st1 | that comes from the rvm init script | 03:40 |
| gp5st1 | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/05/27/%23upstart.html | 03:41 |
| gp5st1 | let me just read it so you don't have to repeat yourself:-p | 03:41 |
| gp5st1 | cool | 03:48 |
| gp5st1 | io your suggestion worked:) | 03:48 |
| djszapi | mmh, I always thought upstart is the parent of each processes, but seems not. | 15:28 |
| bencc | I need to run a daemon as someuser | 22:05 |
| bencc | do I need to run it with 'exec sudo su someuser -c "/some/script" ' | 22:05 |
| bencc | or 'exec sudo -u someuser -i /some/script' ? | 22:05 |
| SeveredCross | I think there's a configuration stanza that'll automatically take care of the user change for you. | 22:08 |
| DrScott | i run daily backups started via anacron. Once a backup job has been started, i want to prevent the system going down. Prior to upstart i use runnlevel scripts which blocked as long as a certain lock file exists. How do i achieve this on a upstart system? Network must stay enabled as i rsync(ssh) to another machine. After backup completes, the lockfile is removed. | 22:09 |
| bencc | SeveredCross: what do you mean by 'configuration stanza' ? | 22:10 |
| bencc | SeveredCross: right now I need to export the user's home folder and run the script with this user | 22:11 |
| SeveredCross | Never mind, I thought there was a line you could put in the job's .conf file, but there isn't. | 22:11 |
| SeveredCross | Since the jobs are all started by init, which runs as root, you don't need exec sudo su. | 22:12 |
| SeveredCross | exec su someuser -c "/some/script" should be good enough. | 22:12 |
| bencc | SeveredCross: ok | 22:12 |
| bencc | what about "exec -u someuser -i /script" | 22:12 |
| bencc | make sense? | 22:12 |
| SeveredCross | Er, you mean exec sudo -u someuser -i /script? | 22:15 |
| SeveredCross | That'd work too. | 22:15 |
| bencc | you said I don't need the sudo | 22:17 |
| SeveredCross | exec -u someuser -i /script won't work, unless upstart's exec supports -u. | 22:18 |
| SeveredCross | Which it doesn't, and it's not likely that your shell does either. | 22:19 |
| soren | Never heard of "exec -u" | 22:19 |
| SeveredCross | Nor have I. | 22:19 |
| bencc | ok. thanks | 22:20 |
| DrScott | is it possible to block upstart? | 22:25 |
