| djszapi | what is the recommended way with upstart to run more binaries ? | 10:50 |
| djszapi | in the same exec line, separate, or something else ? | 10:50 |
| asvin | hello everybody, I'am pretty new to upstart and trying to write a script. Actually I got stuck whenever i want to start the service. I get the following message: start: Job is already running whereas the job isn't running at all. Any idea how i can debug it? | 12:26 |
| djszapi | asvin: which version of upstart are you using ? | 12:27 |
| djszapi | try stop yourjob and then start yourjob | 12:27 |
| asvin | djszapi: i'am using 0.6.5-8 | 12:28 |
| asvin | let me try that | 12:28 |
| djszapi | 0.6.5 really ? | 12:28 |
| djszapi | please make sure | 12:28 |
| djszapi | that would be very old | 12:28 |
| asvin | when stopping i get this: stop: Unknown instance: | 12:28 |
| djszapi | then it is not running | 12:29 |
| djszapi | what if you now try to start that ? | 12:29 |
| asvin | ok wait | 12:29 |
| asvin | ah weird, it works now ;) | 12:29 |
| asvin | i guess the stop did something | 12:29 |
| djszapi | nope | 12:29 |
| djszapi | since it was already stopped | 12:30 |
| djszapi | make sure you start your job for the right condition | 12:30 |
| asvin | djszapi also i'am looking for some help. actually i have a daemon written in PHP and i wanted to use upstart to start it. The daemon creates a pid file | 12:33 |
| asvin | here's my conf, can u let me know if i'am doing the right thing? | 12:33 |
| asvin | http://pastebin.com/cfzBnr2i | 12:33 |
| djszapi | sorry, I do not have enough knowledge about this | 12:34 |
| asvin | oh ok np | 12:34 |
| asvin | but do you know how i can debug it? is there any log? | 12:35 |
| djszapi | your upstart version is utterly odd | 12:35 |
| djszapi | so it does not support the logging by default | 12:35 |
| djszapi | but you can for sure make a redirection | 12:35 |
| djszapi | but that is just about your program | 12:35 |
| asvin | ah ok | 12:36 |
| djszapi | I am not sure why you have two respawn lines | 12:36 |
| asvin | yeah seeing that now, just removed it and it seems everything is working fine now ;) | 12:49 |
| djszapi | cool =] | 12:50 |
| asvin | thanks man | 13:01 |
| slangasek | djszapi: "more binaries" - either separate jobs, or a wrapper script called from upstart; since upstart only tracks one process per job, if you have multiple processes in a job you have to make one of these be the parent process of the others | 14:45 |
| djszapi | slangasek: problem is that if I use pulseaudio in my daemon running from an upstart job, I would need to run a pulseaudio server with --system | 14:46 |
| djszapi | slangasek: if I make a pulseaudio upstart job, that makes the system a bit confusing since | 14:52 |
| djszapi | 1) Does that come from pulseaudio ? | 14:52 |
| djszapi | 2) What if others would also like to run that | 14:52 |
| slangasek | seems like you want a separate pulseaudio upstart job and have dependencies between them | 15:01 |
| djszapi | you ignored 1) and 2) :) | 15:01 |
| qkslvrwolf | hello again! | 16:47 |
| qkslvrwolf | I am, for no good reason, attempting to start selenium2 via an upstart job | 16:48 |
| qkslvrwolf | here's what I have: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003268/ | 16:48 |
| qkslvrwolf | I'm still a bit fuzzy about how to try and debug this stuff. | 16:48 |
| qkslvrwolf | so if there's any chance someone could point me in the right direction... | 16:49 |
| djszapi | why respawn twice ? | 16:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | oh...thought that was necessary...guess I read that wrong | 16:51 |
| qkslvrwolf | I kinda copied that from the ssh.conf file. | 16:52 |
| qkslvrwolf | corollary...if I'm trying to troubleshoot, does initctl read the .conf file every time, or does it read it when I run initctl reload-configuration, or do I need to do somethign else to make a change and then try the change. | 16:53 |
| qkslvrwolf | also..should I be just runnign start on the service, or should I be attempting to emit desktop-session-start? | 16:54 |
| qkslvrwolf | oh, jeez, I'm an idiot | 16:55 |
| qkslvrwolf | ok, figured some out...but my variables aren't being expanded like I'd hoped... | 16:57 |
| qkslvrwolf | ok | 17:01 |
| qkslvrwolf | I don't understand teh way the variable expasnion is working here. | 17:06 |
| qkslvrwolf | in my original, from teh pastebin, I was getting output from `set` like SELENIUM_EXEC='java -jar $SELENIUM_JAR' | 17:07 |
| qkslvrwolf | so, I noticed that some (not all) of the examples from the cookbook wrap variables in single quotes, so i tried | 17:08 |
| qkslvrwolf | SELENIUM_EXEC="java -jar '$SELENIUM_JAR'" | 17:10 |
| qkslvrwolf | and now I get | 17:10 |
| qkslvrwolf | SELENIUM_EXEC='java -jar '"'"'$SELENIUM_JAR'"'" in my output file... | 17:10 |
| rotham | hey.. here is my upstart script: http://pastebin.com/X8PkZct8 ... 'start supervisor' appears to work, but 'stop supervisor' gives me an error about unknown instance. Also when I examine the processid of the running supervisord process it is _different_ than the id that the 'start supervisor' commad tells me it is running under. | 17:29 |
| rotham | any ideas what could be wrong with it? | 17:29 |
| qkslvrwolf | does supervisor fork? | 17:34 |
| qkslvrwolf | 'cause that sounds like it's forking a process. | 17:35 |
| rotham | hm it was, but i just added a line to the command to stop it from forking. Now it runs with the right process id, but 'stop supervisor' still gives the same error. | 17:47 |
| rotham | supervisord lets me set the pid file in supervisord.conf. does upstart expect a certain pid file? | 17:48 |
| rotham | or expect it to be in a certain location..? | 17:48 |
| qkslvrwolf | IANAE (I came here for help myself), but I think upstart expects to control the pid. It logs it itself. | 17:48 |
| qkslvrwolf | I haven't used that at all, though, so I'm not sure where it tracks it. | 17:49 |
| qkslvrwolf | if you need it elsewhere, and it's accurate, you could always get it from initctl status supervisor, though | 17:49 |
| qkslvrwolf | in shell, anyway | 17:49 |
| rotham | ah k | 17:53 |
| qkslvrwolf | there is probably a file or something, I just don't know where it is. | 17:53 |
| qkslvrwolf | also, if you want to let it fork, you can look at the expect commands | 17:54 |
| qkslvrwolf | for upstart | 17:54 |
