[11:01] is there any way to configure the mythtv-backend package to start just a mythjobqueue and not a whole mythbackend? === dkeith_ is now known as dkeith [13:25] Shred00, maybe, some things can be run outside of mythbackend, I think mythjobqueue might be one of them [13:26] tgm4883: mythjobqueue can definitely be run without mythbackend. the question is, given the structure of mythbunutu's /etc/init/mythtv-backend, how does one choose to not run the backend, other than hacking/removing that script (which ends up needing doing frequently on upgrades) [13:27] Shred00, you shouldn't need to hack at the script between upgrades. If you've changed it, it shouldn't get overwritten [13:27] it does when it's changed upstream [13:27] or you at least get a "what do you want to do" prompt [13:27] Shred00, it most certainly should not [13:28] Shred00, yes, you will get the prompt [13:28] but it's not overwritten automatically [13:28] Shred00, what are the startup options for mythjobqueue? [13:28] same as mythbackend? [13:28] tgm4883: no, of course not. i didn't mean to imply it was done without intervention. but still, i don't want to have to keep applying the same edits to that script every time it's upgraded and upstream updated it. i want to set it, once, and then forget it. [13:29] Shred00, well just say you don't want to overwrite it then [13:29] tgm4883: they appear to be similar. i can't guarantee they are drop-in replacement though [13:30] it looks like it just needs started [13:30] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythjobqueue [13:31] right. the bigger detail is enabling a one-place setting for "backend: enable/disable", "jobqueue: enable/disable" [13:31] that doesn't get overwritten by upstream updates [13:32] you can disable the backend by doing 'sudo touch /etc/init/mythtv-backend.override' [13:32] we'll have to make a startup job for mythjobqueue [13:33] ahh. didn't know about .override [13:35] Shred00, without testing it, something like this should work http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5777103/ [13:35] Shred00, actually, looks like someone did the work for us http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Upstart_mythjobqueue_Configuration [13:36] yeah. just needs pulling into mythbuntu. but it shouldn't be run if the backend is running so it needs to be aware of that [13:37] I'd rather have it do what the backend job does though and look for mysql started [13:37] Shred00, well we'd probably want to split out the mythjobqueue package [13:37] sure, it can gate on mysql [13:39] Shred00, also, it looks like you can do your job edits in the override file too instead of in the .conf file http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files [13:40] Shred00, also, I was wrong, in order to disable startup, you need to put 'manual' in that override file, not just touch it
