[00:06] <rocsteady> Hi guys/gals: I want to learn how to set up services on ubuntu 12.10.
[00:06] <rocsteady> I was told that ubuntu would be the best os to use for learning how to set up servicse.
[00:06] <rocsteady> My question is; do you guys have any links or docs that you're aware of with info on setting up servicse on ubuntu?
[00:06] <rocsteady> I am also googling around and checking the ubuntu websites for some good docs to get me started.
[00:08] <rocsteady> ACtually I found this
[00:09] <bazhang> !upstart
[00:09] <rocsteady> http://tinyurl.com/c6qdkfh
[00:09] <ubot5> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[00:10] <rocsteady> I guess I just need a service to set up that's okay for a linux and setting up services newbie
[00:29] <rocsteady> ubot5: do you think upstart would be a good service to set up?
[00:29] <ubot5> rocsteady: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[00:29] <rocsteady> bazhang ^^
[08:13] <AlanBell> rocsteady: upstart is the service manager
[08:13] <AlanBell> so you probably need to write an upstart service
[08:14] <AlanBell> you can see an example of one at /etc/init.d/whoopsie

[17:02] <rocsteady> AlanBell: Oh okay, I will take a look as soon as I'm off work.
[17:02]  * rocsteady is on windows at work :(
[17:02] <rocsteady> Actually, I'll just ssh into another linux box..
[17:11]  * AlanBell is on Ubuntu at work \o/
[17:14] <rocsteady> wat
[17:14] <rocsteady> u r lucky
[17:20] <rocsteady> What do you think about systemd?
[17:23] <rocsteady> http://tinyurl.com/33xknxf is what I'm reading
[17:24] <rocsteady> To learn about the init daemons.
[17:35] <AlanBell> systemd is probably a good thing
[17:35] <AlanBell> but seeing as it came from the chap who wrote pulse audio I think it is reasonable for Ubuntu to wait until it is ready before switching to it

[17:52] <rocsteady> ops
[17:52] <rocsteady> sorry
[17:53] <bazhang> heh
[17:54] <rocsteady> I was reposting what AlanBell said about why ubuntu is going to wait to use systemd
[17:54] <rocsteady> in another channel I'm in
[17:56] <AlanBell> http://undacuvabrutha.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/why-ubuntu-should-continue-with-upstart-for-11-10/
[17:56] <AlanBell> slightly more balanced and thought out opinion than mine :)
[17:57] <AlanBell> I suspect we will end up on systemd at some point
[17:57] <AlanBell> can't say I am massively excited about plumbing that low level
