[18:25] <ajp> anyone around to help with an upstart script?
[18:27] <ajp> http://pastebin.com/v7GzqKyL here's the script
[18:31] <ajp> having trouble with upstart: http://pastebin.com/v7GzqKyL here's the script. The subscripts work but the upstart doesn't... I've tried starting and stopping the service with no luck
[18:39] <ajp> anyone not idling?
[19:46] <SpamapS> ajp: expect fork may not do what you think it does
[19:46] <SpamapS> ajp: also 'starting shutdown' is not an event.
[19:47] <SpamapS> ajp: unless you have a special 'shutdown' job you created
[19:48] <SpamapS> ajp: If MonitorScannedPDFsMatthew.sh just runs forever and never detaches itself, then remove 'expect fork'
[19:49] <SpamapS> ajp: and I'd recommend using 'start on runlevel [2345]' and 'stop on runlevel [016]' unless you have a good reason to use something else
[19:49]  * SpamapS re-idles
[20:37] <ajp> spamapS: thanks that was a big help, ill try it after I'm done with lunch here
[22:07] <ajp> SpamapS: nice palindrome, anyways here's what I have now:  http://pastebin.com/ByJeymDR Still not working. should I be using "$sudo initctl start upstartPDF" to start/stop the job?
[22:09] <SpamapS> ajp: you will need root to start/stop jobs in the default configuration yes
[22:09] <SpamapS> ajp: you might want to change 'console none' to 'console log' and look at /var/log/upstart/upstartPDF.log for clues
[22:12] <ajp> good idea
[22:15] <ajp> it dopesn't look like it's logging 
[22:18] <ajp> I wouldn't have to restart the system would I?
[22:18] <ajp> SpamapS ?
[22:27] <SpamapS> ajp: no, just the job itself
[22:28] <SpamapS> ajp: if it isn't printing anything out, it won't log
[22:28] <SpamapS> ajp: you can check /var/log/syslog for any clues as well
[22:28] <ajp> ic
[22:29] <ajp> well almost end of workday, I guess i'll be here tomorrow
[22:29] <ajp> thanks ttfn
