| sveinse | Are there any activity here? Anyways. telinit can be used asynchronously to change runlevel. How can I use initctl to do it synchronously? With that I mean that it does not return until all events regarding the runlevel change has been started | 10:06 |
|---|---|---|
| sveinse | Well I found it: initctl emit runlevel RUNLEVEL=... | 10:19 |
| xnox | =) | 10:24 |
| jodh | xnox: have you spoken to the desktop folk about a fallback for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR? | 11:05 |
| xnox | no. | 11:05 |
| xnox | jodh: who was our desktop team contact / driver behind the spec? | 11:06 |
| * xnox adds a note to my backlog. | 11:06 | |
| jodh | xnox: nobody nominated - I'd try pitti/seb128 for starters. | 11:07 |
| jodh | xnox: we really need to try to get all outstanding branches merged this week. Added to which, I'm starting on list-sessions which will need the same code to find the session files. | 11:07 |
| jodh | xnox: we'll go over all this in the meeting later. | 11:08 |
| xnox | ack. | 11:13 |
| jodh | xnox: you haven't started on the ':sys:' / ':user:' code yet have you? If not, I'm about to look at it. | 11:33 |
| xnox | jodh: nope. Go ahead =) | 11:36 |
| sveinse | Are there any ways to set a environment from a file in upstart. I have a service which needs the LANG environment var set. The value of this var can be read from /etc/locale. I'd like to avoid wrapping the exec with sh if possible | 11:50 |
| sveinse | *reading 8.2 in cookbook....* | 11:51 |
| xnox | sveinse: here is verbose example of sourcing settings: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#pre-start-example-ubuntu-specific | 11:56 |
| sveinse | xnox: Yes, that is one half of it. What I'm wondering when reading the env var example in 8.2 is that does export var in pre-script make the var visible for the binary run by exec? | 11:58 |
| xnox | sveinse: no. | 12:02 |
| xnox | (as far as I currently tested locally) | 12:03 |
| sveinse | hmm,ok . So I probably need to wrap the executable in a script section... | 12:18 |
| xnox | sveinse: exec LANG=C.UTF-8 mydaemon | 12:32 |
| xnox | should work as well, but that will also be executed via shell. | 12:32 |
| sveinse | xnox: If it was so simple... exec LANG=$(cat /etc/locale) mydaemon would be more correct | 12:33 |
| xnox | $ cat /etc/locale | 12:34 |
| xnox | cat: /etc/locale: No such file or directory | 12:34 |
| sveinse | But it seems wrapping through sh seems inevitable | 12:34 |
| xnox | the correct way is to call $ locale and use that output (for me that defines en_GB.UTF-8 correctly) | 12:34 |
| sveinse | on this system /etc/locale will always exist, but anyways, since I can't pass pre-script variables into the main exec, it seems I have to use the shell to start the daemon | 12:36 |
| sveinse | baah. Of course. I can use script and call the daemon with exec. This way I can load the environment I need. | 12:39 |
| xnox | yes. =) | 12:44 |
| xnox | pre-start script - is only usually used for sanity checking if daemon can / cannot start & e.g. abort if not properly configured. | 12:45 |
| jodh | xnox: you about for the meeting? | 15:04 |
| xnox | yeap | 15:05 |
| jY | i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and an upstart job is hanging for start/stop.. no expects in there | 20:17 |
| jY | what can i do to debug it? | 20:17 |
