| six86 | hi | 12:59 |
|---|---|---|
| six86 | one question to upstart: i want a job that starts other jobs for convenience, but it doesnts work. Can someone help? | 13:00 |
| SpamapS | six86: perhaps you could share the job as you have it now? | 13:07 |
| six86 | i have around 5 jobs, all part of the whole system. to start this jobs i want one that starts them all | 13:09 |
| six86 | http://pastebin.com/LshrGktj | 13:10 |
| six86 | it seems as if the jobs are executed, but i cannot check status nor stop them bz name | 13:14 |
| six86 | by name | 13:14 |
| SpamapS | six86: start on startup is wrong, btw | 13:18 |
| SpamapS | six86: that event is emitted before filesystems are mounted, before networking is up.. | 13:18 |
| six86 | the start on is currentlz not important and will be changed later. The interesting question is, if i can start multiple services in one job and the track them individually with start/stop/status | 13:23 |
| SpamapS | six86: ok, you're kind of doing it backwards | 13:38 |
| SpamapS | six86: instead of putting a bunch of starts in that job... | 13:39 |
| SpamapS | six86: (which should work) | 13:39 |
| SpamapS | six86: how about changing the other jobs to 'start on starting meta-aggregate-job-name' | 13:39 |
| SpamapS | six86: and then 'stop on stopping meta-aggregate-job-name' | 13:39 |
| SpamapS | six86: then you don't even need a script section | 13:39 |
| SpamapS | six86: it just becomes a job to help start/stop them together | 13:40 |

| six86 | thats a good idea, thx. I will try that tomorrow | 13:57 |
| cubicool | Is there a way in upstart to run a curses-based application before lightdm ever starts? I realize I need to make my curses app be a dependency of lightdm, but I can't actually get my upstart job to "grab the foreground", so to speak. | 17:26 |
| cubicool | I know everyone will say "why", but I need to accomplish this in a corporate setting; a few pre-X functions must be executed on the employees first boot. | 17:27 |

| benzittlau | hey, I'm trying to get the PID of the current process inside a pre-stop block | 17:45 |
| benzittlau | i | 17:45 |
| benzittlau | is there a straightforward way to get that without having to write the PID to a file? | 17:45 |
| SpamapS | benzittlau: status | 17:48 |
| SpamapS | benzittlau: it is every easy to parse | 17:48 |
| SpamapS | cubicool: if you want it to grab the actual console, you need to make it 'console owner' | 17:49 |
| SpamapS | cubicool: and you have to make *sure* it is the *only* console owner | 17:49 |
| benzittlau | SpamapS: happen to know of any snippet for parsing out the PID? I'm sure I could figure it out, but it would save me some time | 17:50 |
| SpamapS | cubicool: 'start on starting lightdm' should be enough, but you may have to also add in some stuff about plymouth to make sure you get the console | 17:50 |
| SpamapS | benzittlau: x=$(status); pid=${x##*, process} | 17:53 |
| benzittlau | thanks! | 17:53 |
