=== broder_ is now known as broder [19:21] have I read the entire manual cover to cover? no. Am I going to ask anyway? yes. :) [19:21] How do I start/stop a job as user "me" without using sudo [19:21] in the script I have this: exec start-stop-daemon --start -c me:me --exec /usr/local/bin/bus-node.sh [19:22] i want root or me to start/stop this job and it always be run as me. [19:25] always run as me => setuid me + setgid me [19:26] root or me to start/stop => I think you'll need sudo for that or possibly some clever policykit magic [19:30] i thought I tried it such that the sudo was called from the upstart script, such that the user could call start/stop and essentially sudo to themselves while root always has that ability... maybe I got something else wrong.. [20:22] Hello everyone. I'have bunch of upstart scripts and a debian squeeze system with system v. Is can't fully replace system v, is it possible to install upstart alongside system v and use it just for those scripts? [20:31] dypsilon: upstart still runs sysvinit scripts [20:31] dypsilon: not sure how well it works on Debian though [20:32] SpamapS, I can't afford to migrate everything to upstart right now. [20:33] dypsilon: nobody can, or ever will :) [20:33] dypsilon: the idea is to migrate the things which hold back system boot speed or which need to be coordinated with those things. [20:36] SpamapS, I don't really care about boot speed. The perfect solution for me would be to just run upstart as a system v service and alongside system v. [20:37] Just reuse the scripts I already have. But I can understand if that's not possible. [20:38] dypsilon: why? [20:38] whats the point of upstart if it is not pid 1? [20:39] SpamapS, it's a great plattform for controlling processes, I suppose. [20:40] I have some scripts I want to reuse, also there are some very usefull scripts on the internet. [20:41] Also I will be able to ease into pid 1 upstart in the future without having to introduce something like daemontools [20:41] for the time beeing [20:46] dypsilon: ok, I'm convinced. You'll have to code that though. ;) [20:48] SpamapS, :) [20:48] SpamapS, so it's not possible right now, ... thank you
