[16:34] <lixus> hi, i need an upstart script that simply logges the time when my desktop was powered on and when it shuts down
[16:35] <lixus> i am using this script http://pastebin.com/CmvtE0y8
[16:36] <lixus> it works for power on but not for shutdown
[16:41] <jhunt_> lixus: try "start on filesystem or runlevel [06]" and remove the "stop on"
[16:43] <jhunt_> lixus: then, replace the post-start and post-stop with a simple "script" that looks at $UPSTART_EVENTS. If that variable contains "filesystem", the job was triggered on boot, else shutdown.
[16:43] <jhunt_> lixus: I'll add something along those lines to the cookbook the next time I update...
[16:44] <lixus> jhunt_, thanks, i'll try that. but then my post-stop section is obsolet ?
[16:44] <lixus> forget my last message
[16:45] <lixus> some elay in my irc client
[17:09] <SpamapS> jhunt_: actually I think he'd want start on filesystem or starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] .. start on runlevel [06] will race with the actual shutdown.
[17:09] <SpamapS> jhunt_: not that I think his process will take > 10 seconds.
