[02:18] <aconbere> hey, I'm having an issue running a java service under upstart, that runs fine from the shell
[02:19] <aconbere> I can run it in the shell with the same privs
[02:19] <aconbere> and it takes no options
[02:19] <aconbere> and doesn't inspect any environmental variables
[02:19] <aconbere> I don't know how to debug this
[02:19] <aconbere> wondering if anyone here can help
[02:21] <aconbere> (the error for reference is reading a datafile out of a jar, i get a MalformedInputException, but only in upstart)
[02:21] <aconbere> my theories run the gambit of some strange forking going on
[02:21] <aconbere> or maybe just running in a different environment
[02:37] <SpamapS> aconbere: java shouldn't be forking
[11:08] <dan2003> Hi, im trying to make a script to run a task when mysql is stopped. But im having the problem that it takes a while it doesnt get to copmlete before reboot or halt, so I tried setting the kill timeout to a value greater than the default (5). But it doesnt help. I have realised that this is probably because I did not have a stop in statement. But I am not able to find a suitable event for my stop on statement, an ideas?
[11:08] <dan2003> stop in/stop on
[11:10] <dan2003> I was just about to add i have tried the obvious runlevel [06] and found it dodnt work presumeably becasue that happens before my process is even started, but am trying it again as think i may have had a syntax error
[11:14] <jodh> dan2003: currently, having a job start on shutdown is going to be challenging. You may need to look at /etc/init.d/sendsigs and /etc/init.d/umountroot since those are invoked just before shutdown and you may need to modify them to ensure they wait for your job(s) to complete.
[11:15] <dan2003> jodh, ok, I am jut trying a bit of a hack with a seperate job that starts on runlevel [06] and has kil timeout 60, and stops on stop stopped my_other_job, which will be omitted when the other job is done
[11:16] <dan2003> but if this fails I will look at that
[11:17] <jodh> dan2003: the problem is that the final shutdown stages on Ubuntu are not currently handled directly by Upstart - we're looking to change that behaviour in the Raring cycle.
[11:17] <dan2003> oh ok
[11:34] <dan2003> jodh, thanks a bunch, a simple check in  /etc/init.d/sendsigs seems to have resolved my problem
[11:34] <jodh> dan2003: np :)
[14:55] <aconbere> hey, I've got a little project I'm using that makes use of scalate. To deploy my app, I package a jar and ship it off to servers. I'm unclear how to make use of scalate templates once they're packaged though...
[14:56] <aconbere> I think my best bet is precompiling them, but then there's not really any discussion in the docs of accessing precompiled templates
[14:56] <aconbere> anyway, if anyone knows anything about that (or a better place to look)
[15:50] <aconbere> bah, wrong channel
[15:50] <aconbere> :-/
