| bizhanMona | Spamaps: Thanks for replay, where can I get more info for what upstart uses dbus? Thx | 12:27 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | bizhanMona: the source code? =) | 13:28 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: initctl uses dbus to talk to upstart. and there is also dbus interface to query status & launch stuff. in trunk there is support for jobs to start/stop on dbus events. | 13:29 |
| xnox | there is some dated information here http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/DBusInterface | 13:30 |
| xnox | i'm not sure we auto-generate dbus docs or not. | 13:30 |
| jodh | bizhanMona: also some example here - http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#controlling-upstart-using-d-bus | 13:36 |
| ah- | hi, i have an embedded arm board that usually boots with sysv scripts, and instead of/after booting that I want it to chroot to a loopback image of a different distribution that's based on upstart and continue booting that | 16:51 |
| ah- | my problem is that I can't just chroot and start upstart afterwards, since that would mean that upstart isn't pid 1 | 16:52 |
| xnox | use lxc, then upstart can become pid1 | 16:53 |
| xnox | lxc is chroot + a couple fancy tricks on top. it's the way to do stuff like that. | 16:53 |
| ah- | thanks, i'll look into that, seems like a good fit | 16:54 |
| ah- | does it require kernel support? | 16:54 |
| xnox | ah-: also your case sounds a lot like initramfs -> root hand over, which does also give up pid1 and let the other instance take over. | 16:55 |
| ah- | my real problem is that i can't/don't want to flash a new kernel/uboot config since that's a bit risky | 16:55 |
| xnox | ah-: lxc? yeah but pretty much any recentish kernels support that. even like android kernels and what not. | 16:55 |
| xnox | check, you might have lxc enabled. | 16:55 |
| ah- | xnox: unfortunately a lot is missing: http://nopaste.me/paste/629141865510aa60037d45 | 17:13 |
| xnox | ah-: then look how initramfs does handover. | 17:13 |
| ah- | i'm on it, thanks for the hint | 17:15 |
| ah- | xnox: great, that looks pretty much like the thing i've been searching for. i'll just omit the rm -rf / part of it and then it should be fine | 17:26 |
| xnox | np, your welcome =) | 17:26 |
| bizhanMona | xnox: Thanks for your info, I am trying to catch up fast on this. One question when you say "in trunk ..." do you mean is not part of the main release? thx | 17:34 |
| bizhanMona | jodh: thanks for pointer | 17:34 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: yeah, that event bridge got merged into lp:upstart. We will soon have an upstart release with that feature in. | 17:35 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: even sooner we might get a usable rc / testing ppa. | 17:35 |
| bizhanMona | xnox: this great thanks so much. Is there a mailing list that I can subscribe to get the future development releases? thx | 17:36 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: there is upstart-devel mailing list, but it has also code-review and patches going to it. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel | 17:38 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: just announcements of new releases are via RSS https://launchpad.net/upstart/+announcements | 17:38 |
| bizhanMona | xnox: thanks so much for all the info. | 17:40 |
| xnox | bizhanMona: =) no problem. We are a friendly bunch here, when online ;-) | 17:41 |
| ndimatteo | hey all, I was hoping I could get some help with an upstart job for running forever.js | 19:45 |
