| thatguydan | Hey I was a question I was hoping someone might know the answer to | 08:31 |
| thatguydan | are you able to put multiple exec's in say a pre-start script block? | 08:32 |
| jodh | thatguydan: "exec" overlays the running program in the current process with the new program, so no. | 08:34 |
| jodh | thatguydan: that's just shell/unix behaviour. What are you trying to do? | 08:35 |
| thatguydan | chown a few items in a pre-start script, but it wasn't executing :s | 08:35 |
| jodh | thatguydan: just run your chowns without the exec. | 08:35 |
| thatguydan | yup, just tried and worked. Not sure why I was adamant on the exec's, new to upstart | 08:36 |
| thatguydan | thanks | 08:36 |
| jodh | thatguydan: the exec's your talking about are actually shell keywords. Take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/162768/starting-java-processes-with-upstart and have a poke around in the Cookbook (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/). | 08:38 |
| thatguydan | cheers, will do | 08:38 |
| jodh | thatguydan: it's worth remembering that Upstart will run all shell code using /bin/sh so it's worth re-reading "man sh" too (see also http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#develop-scripts-using-bin-sh and http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#debugging-a-script-which-appears-to-be-behaving-oddly and http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#check-a-script-section-for-errors). | 08:39 |
| thatguydan | will do | 08:40 |
| thatguydan | I have one more quick question, using the task stanza, if I exec a .sh script, it shouldn't restart it on exit 1, but will on exit 0, is that correct? | 08:41 |
| thatguydan | We're trying to write some update scripts on hardware, and I was thinking of putting a script in that checks for a flag file to decide whether to update or not | 08:44 |
