| dcorbin_work | When a job has a script in it, is there some way to see the stdout/stderr of that script? | 11:45 |
| dcorbin_work | :q | 12:06 |
| dcorbin_work | I have an upstart job that is trying to use environment variables inside of a shell script. It /looks/ like my variable references ${FOO} are being translated to "" by upstart. I'm at a loss here. | 12:12 |
| jhunt | dcorbin_work: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#see-the-environment-a-job-runs-in | 12:58 |
| jhunt | dcorbin_work: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#environment-variables | 12:58 |
| dcorbin_work | jhunt: I looked through all of those. None of those confirm or even describe if all environment variables references in the script are processed by upstart rather than the shell. | 13:01 |
| dcorbin_work | let me give you a pastebin | 13:02 |
| dcorbin_work | http://pastebin.com/uKBuQhTA : I'm finding things improved if I use "\$" instead of "$" | 13:19 |
| dcorbin_work | But, the escaping only works if it's inside double-quotes. Weird | 13:25 |
| jhunt | that's not a complete .conf file. Why are you using bash? I'm rather intrigued by what you're trying to do since there are very few reasons to use a while loop in a job like that. | 13:26 |
| dcorbin_work | jhunt: I was using bash because I find it impossible to get useful information about a failing script out of upstart. I didn't know dash existed until this morning, and I don't know what's different. | 13:29 |
| dcorbin_work | That top part was the entirety of a post-start script | 13:30 |
| jhunt | "man dash" - seriously, you shouldn't need to use bash. There's a section in the cookbook if you insist, but I'd recommend against it. | 13:30 |
| dcorbin_work | What I'm trying to do, is poll the server to be until it is actually finished coming up. | 13:30 |
| jhunt | that doesn't fit upstarts model; the server daemon needs a .conf file so that when the server is ready, the "started JOB=<server>" event will be emitted. You can then write a job that uses that to trigger further actions if required. | 13:31 |
| dcorbin_work | I will probably drop it before I'm done, I did "man dash", but I don't find it "small and absorbable' | 13:31 |
| jhunt | it's a lot smaller than "man bash" :) | 13:31 |
| jhunt | Most of the syntax is the same. | 13:31 |
| dcorbin_work | We're starting a jboss server. It completes the launching fairly quickly, but everything is not fully deployed and ready at that time. | 13:32 |
| dcorbin_work | I agree that polling is "not desireable". | 13:32 |
