| RoboTeddy | is there a way to restart all the services started by a task such as http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#instance ? | 01:12 |
|---|---|---|
| SpamapS | RoboTeddy: initctl list is very easy to parse, so thats the way to accomplish that. | 03:56 |
| RoboTeddy | SpamapS: ok, cool, thanks. here's the actual solution I came up with; I'm not sure if it's problematic: https://gist.github.com/bb349098a1b4f6fb577a | 04:07 |
| RoboTeddy | instead of using making a task that runs multiple service instances, it's a service that starts multiple services, which are in turn set to shut down when the parent service stops | 04:08 |
| RoboTeddy | I'm not sure if it's a gross misuse of upstart or not | 04:09 |
| SpamapS | RoboTeddy: I'm a bit confused why you don't just run the workers as children in the background of python-application using & | 04:10 |
| RoboTeddy | SpamapS: but then if a child crashed, it wouldn't automatically respawn | 04:11 |
| SpamapS | true | 04:11 |
| SpamapS | its actually pretty elegant | 04:11 |
| RoboTeddy | it's a similar setup to http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#instance , except the parent is a service rather than a task | 04:11 |
| SpamapS | it makes more sense as a service really | 04:12 |
| RoboTeddy | coool, thanks for the feedback | 04:12 |
| SpamapS | RoboTeddy: btw, sleep 100000000 works better.. ;) | 04:12 |
| SpamapS | no need for the while | 04:12 |
| RoboTeddy | SpamapS: hehe true ;) I had | 04:12 |
| RoboTeddy | * I had 'sleep 1', but then realized I'd be hitting the cpu a tad | 04:12 |
| RoboTeddy | yeah true, 100000000 seconds is 3 years | 04:13 |
| SpamapS | RoboTeddy: yeah sleep is a free thing so just do sleep 100000 :) | 04:14 |
| SpamapS | RoboTeddy: in fact you can 'exec sleep 10000000' and save a process :) | 04:14 |
| RoboTeddy | SpamapS: cool, thanks | 04:14 |
| SpamapS | I'd go for 2**31 | 04:14 |
| SpamapS | 68 years, and very likely to work :) | 04:15 |
| RoboTeddy | :) gtg, thanks for the advice | 04:15 |
| * SpamapS just now realized he will turn 60 when "y2k38" hits | 04:16 | |
