[14:13] <hvgotcodes> is this channel logged?
[14:13] <hvgotcodes> im looking for an answer i got last week
[14:20] <soren> hvgotcodes: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[14:32] <hvgotcodes> soren: thanx
[14:32] <soren> sure
[14:52] <hvgotcodes> soren: i cant find it -- the question last week was basically how to read env variables out of /etc/environment and make them available for the process that upstart is managing.
[14:53] <hvgotcodes> the upstart conf i had is here
[14:53] <hvgotcodes> https://gist.github.com/ef3ff41c2928db636917
[14:53] <hvgotcodes> i think i just need to add some script sections to read the environment
[15:12] <hvgotcodes> soren: i found the pastebin with the answer i got on this forum -- problem is when i try it the git_repo variable is not seen from within the process

[15:29] <JanC> hvgotcodes: sudo cleans up the environment, you'll need to add the -E option to sudo
[15:30] <JanC> (I should say: it cleans up the environment with a default Ubuntu sudoers config)
[15:36] <JanC> and you might also have to add an option in sudoers to allow this
[15:37] <hvgotcodes> JanC: you are saying just add a -E?
[15:37] <hvgotcodes> is there a better way to be doing this?
[15:38] <JanC> I haven't tested if just -E is enough; maybe you'll need to change sudoers
[15:39] <hvgotcodes> JanC: what do you mean by it 'cleans up the environment'?  I thought that /etc/environment was always available no matter what
[15:40] <hvgotcodes> there is no -E option for sudo
[15:40] <hvgotcodes> at least in the man page
[15:41] <hvgotcodes> oh yeah it is there
[15:43] <hvgotcodes> hmm why do i get stop: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory when i try to do service theservice stop?
[15:44] <hvgotcodes> i wonder if it would be better to have a wrapper script to launch the process, and source the environment in there
[21:02] <radix> would a post on the upstart-devel list about my vserver + blocking upstart problems be appropriate?
[21:03] <radix> I'm not sure how strict the list is about separating user support from development
[21:22] <JanC> radix: user questions are welcome AFAIK (there isn't that much traffic)
[23:00] <radix> okie doke
