| Unit193 | Sooo, is there a way to unwedge upstart then? As in, when it loses track of a job and still thinks it's running, but you can't start or stop it? (Causing upgrades to not work) | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| adrien_oww | xnox: well, for my issue, I've reverted some changes back without effect; I don't understand what is wrong but it's most probably a recent change on my end | 10:37 |
| adrien_oww | I have to change topic a bit but I'll get back to this when I can | 10:37 |
| magmatt | I've got an upstart script that when stopped doesn't stop all the child processes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484975/ This shows the problem: http://bpaste.net/show/yS98t42s9ki5umrFFDoG/ Why isn't that last processes killed when its parent is killed? | 15:55 |
| magmatt | you can see it lingering in line 16 of the second paste | 15:55 |
| magmatt | afaik there's no forking going on; nothing daemonizes | 15:56 |
| xnox | magmatt: this is very odd job. | 16:07 |
| magmatt | it looks like the su might be doing some kind of daemonizing | 16:07 |
| magmatt | xnox: yeah, it kind of is :( | 16:07 |
| xnox | magmatt: setuid shampain; setgid shampain; exec /home/shampain/start-shampain.sh | 16:08 |
| xnox | magmatt: instead of using su, cause stopping will be killing su..... | 16:09 |
| xnox | magmatt: with setuid/setgid stanzas you will not need su. | 16:09 |
| xnox | magmatt: you might be required to export/set $HOME | 16:09 |
| magmatt | xnox: okay, let me try that | 16:09 |
| xnox | magmatt: ideally you would not have wrapper script, but write it out directly in script stanza.... but not sure how to deal with decrypt thing. | 16:10 |
| magmatt | which brings me to another question: sometimes when I can the upstart conf script, I can't start/stop/restart because it complains of "stop: Unknown job: shampain" | 16:11 |
| magmatt | such is the case right now | 16:11 |
| magmatt | s/can/change/ | 16:11 |
| xnox | you must have made a mistake, and it rejected the conf file. | 16:13 |
| xnox | init-checkconf /path/to/your/job.conf | 16:13 |
| xnox | should say what it complains about. | 16:13 |
| magmatt | xnox: I don't have init-checkconf, but the setuid and setgid stanzas are the problem (commenting them out make it work again). I'm using upstart 0.6.5 | 16:15 |
| magmatt | perhaps that's why | 16:15 |
| xnox | ah. | 16:15 |
| xnox | that's rather old. | 16:15 |
| xnox | magmatt: in that case, instead of using su -c, use start-stop-daemon and pass command/user args to it. then stop will send singnals to start-stop-daemon, which will in turn relay them. | 16:16 |
| xnox | it accepts --user option, etc. | 16:16 |
| magmatt | xnox: great! Let me give that a try. (And I'll see if ops is willing to upgrade upstart) | 16:17 |
| magmatt | bah, this box doesn't have start-stop-daemon either :( | 16:23 |
| magmatt | xnox: thank you for your help. You've given me plenty to go on -- I'll need to see what we can do about installing things on this machine | 16:24 |
