| blami_ | hi. I'm porting sysv init script that starts/stops dropbox for all users defined in /etc/default/dropbox. Is having two upstart scripts - one for per-user dropbox instance supervision (keyword: instance $USER) and second for bootstrapping all per-user instances a good idea? | 08:18 |

| SpamapS | blami: sure. You can also use 'user' jobs and just let users who have dropbox put a file in ~/.initNt | 16:21 |
| SpamapS | ahh.. thank you HUD, for that lovely keyboard insanity | 16:22 |
| SpamapS | blami: ~/.init is what I meant ;) | 16:22 |
| ha1dfo | hi all. i'm developing services to ubuntu, and i'd like to execute a task that takes time on shutdown. I tried putting it to post-exec but it seems that init is not waiting for my job to finish but kills it. what is the proper way to do it? | 20:47 |
| blami | SpamapS: that's very nice solution, even smf does not support such thing! | 21:19 |
| blami | SpamapS: these 'user' jobs, when they get started? during boot or when user is logged in? | 21:21 |
| SpamapS | blami: they get started on the events that their start on defines | 23:09 |
| blami | SpamapS: so no login is needed, love it! Well maybe upstart does not use cgroups and early sockets but at least is straightforward and does the things that user expects :) | 23:11 |
| SpamapS | blami: its not quite that easy. THe user has to run 'initctl' at least once for Upstart to find the config files. | 23:15 |
| SpamapS | blami: otherwise at boot time upstart would have to iterate over all known users.. which would not be efficient. | 23:16 |
