[21:58] Anyone here know how to read a variable for an upstart script from another file? [21:58] I'd like to be able to make the user a job runs as configurable. [22:01] so I want to read a file that defines a var (e.g. "exec_user") and then use something like the following for my exec line: exec start-stop-daemon --signal SIGQUIT --start -c "$exec_user" --exec /usr/bin/foo [22:04] oh, maybe I can use another upstart job to start it with an instance var [22:06] it's not really multiple instances though, so, just out of curiosity, is there a way to do with without and instance var?
