| PeterFA | If I source a file that doesn't call any processes in my start script, will that interfere with the PID stuff? | 16:10 |
|---|---|---|
| jodh | PeterFA: if the sourced script only sets variables, that's fine. | 16:23 |
| PeterFA | jodh: thanks. | 16:24 |
| PeterFA | What if I have an if/then bock where the else part (which is the golden path) calls the process, would the if/then and test stuff interfer with getting the right PID? | 16:25 |
| jodh | PeterFA: no since 'if', 'test' and '[' are all shell built-ins (to convince yourself, run "for i in if then else test [; do type $i; done"). | 16:30 |
| PeterFA | jodh: thanks. This kind of scripting makes me a bit paranoid. | 16:31 |
| PeterFA | I wish Upstart had some sort of flag that says, "This next line will produce the PID we want. Track that one." | 16:32 |
| jodh | PeterFA: if you are only setting a few variables, you could just use 'env' maybe to avoid the external script? http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#env | 16:32 |
| PeterFA | jodh: I source the script multiple times. I understand that even though a variable is set, it dies with each section, so after process is started, the post-start or stop sections won't be able to use those variables. | 16:34 |
| PeterFA | So, I just rebuild them every time. | 16:34 |
| jodh | PeterFA: also, if the job your are producing is a session job (?) you could use http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#initctl-set-env. That way you could set the variables in the pre-start and have them apply to the entire job such that the main job process (script/exec) won't need to source anything :) | 16:34 |
| PeterFA | jodh: that would be a whole lot simpler, and I do want to make this into a session job. The reason is because I want the processes to have lesser priviledges as to not go all political on the data. | 16:35 |
| PeterFA | Or at least on the rest of the system. | 16:35 |
| jodh | PeterFA: are you using setuid+setgid at the moment then? http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#setuid | 16:36 |
| PeterFA | jodh: no, not yet. I want to though. I guess now's the time for this step. | 16:37 |
| linguini | cd upstart && ./configure --with-local-libnih=../libnih # says unrecognized option: --with-local-libnih | 16:47 |
| linguini | I'm trying to compile upstart, following http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/CompilingUpstart | 16:47 |
| linguini | Is --with-local-libnih obsolescent? | 16:48 |
| PeterFA | How do I figure out what version of Upstart I'm using? It looks like from yum -list I'm using Upstart 6.2. | 17:02 |
| jodh | PeterFA: 'initctl version' shows you the running version of upstart and 'init --version' will show you the latest *installed* version. | 17:07 |
| jodh | linguini: no, that option is still there. | 17:08 |
| PeterFA | jodh: awesome, thanks. I'm on 0.6.2. | 17:08 |
| PeterFA | Ouch, no session init. | 17:08 |
| jodh | linguini: you should probably be looking at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#setting-up-an-upstart-development-environment btw. | 17:08 |
| * PeterFA wails in agony. | 17:08 | |
| jodh | PeterFA: oooohhhh... | 17:09 |
| * PeterFA plots the ultimate destruction of RHEL6. | 17:09 | |
| jodh | PeterFA: no setuid/setgid either. | 17:09 |
| PeterFA | start-stop-daemon? | 17:09 |
| jodh | PeterFA: that's part of dpkg so unsure if that'll be available on RHEL either ?!? | 17:11 |
| * PeterFA collapses and turns ghostly white. | 17:12 | |
| PeterFA | I'm going to go get some lunch. | 17:12 |
| * PeterFA disappears grumbling. | 17:12 | |
| linguini | jodh: Thanks; I wonder why my configure doesn't accept the argument... | 17:16 |
| linguini | jodh: Thanks for the link; I'll look at the cookbook settings instead. | 17:17 |
| jodh | linguini: what version of upstart are you trying to build? | 17:17 |
| linguini | jodh: bzr branch lp:upstart | 17:18 |
| linguini | (ala http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/CompilingUpstart) | 17:18 |
| jodh | linguini: try running 'autoreconf -fi' then './configure --help|grep with-local-libnih' | 17:22 |
| linguini | jodh: autoreconf -fi # success | 17:23 |
| linguini | jodh: ./configure --help | grep nih # nope | 17:23 |
| jodh | linguini: have you definitely installed all the pre-reqs ("sudo apt-get build-dep upstart")? What does 'grep with-local-libnih m4/libnih.m4' give? | 17:25 |
| linguini | jodh: No; I haven't. I'll dry that. | 17:25 |
| linguini | jodh: It's installing 30+ MB of stuff. Clearly I was missing some build dependencies! | 17:32 |
| jodh | linguini: :) | 17:38 |
| linguini | jodh: That worked! | 17:52 |
| jodh | linguini: great. | 17:52 |
| linguini | GNU auto-* tools are mysterious to me. | 17:52 |
| linguini | Thanks; I'm now unstuck. | 17:53 |
