[15:30] <Ztyx> I have a "post-start exec" to check my process is fully up. Can "post-start exec" stop my service if it doesn't come up in say, 60 seconds?
[15:32] <xnox> Ztyx: loop/wait the check for 60s in post-start, exit non-zero. that will stop the service.
[15:33] <xnox> Ztyx: see (probably the most convoluted way to do so) in http://paste.ubuntu.com/7120379/
[15:38] <gena2x> Could anyone please tell how to set upstart env with result of shell command?
[15:38] <gena2x> something like env DATE=$(date)
[15:38] <Ztyx> xnox: Thanks for give me a push in the right direction. My exec application most certainly exits with 1. I even added a sleep in it just to make sure this wasn't a timing issue. Will I need to use a "post-exec script" for this?
[15:39] <jodh> gena2x: is this for a system job, or a session job?
[15:39] <gena2x> jodh, system job
[15:40] <jodh> gena2x: in which case there isn't really a good way. Either define DATE in your script sections (all of them that need to use $DATE!) or have each script section source /etc/default/myservice.
[15:40] <Ztyx> Also, will I need to reload upstart if I make changes to /etc/init/?
[15:41] <gena2x> jodh, got it, thank you
[15:41] <jodh> gena2x: alternatively, have another job emit an event ('initctl emit my-event DATE=... hello=world') that your job can 'start on' and thus get the value of that event's variables.
[15:41] <xnox> Ztyx: configs are re-read automatically, but they are applied against /newly/ started jobs only. E.g. if the job is running, you'd need to do: stop myjob; start myjob => for changes to take effect.
[15:42] <xnox> Ztyx: it's not "post-exec" but rather "post-start" =) so you can do: post-start exec sleep 60; run-my-check
[15:43] <xnox> Ztyx: that means it will always take 60s to start, the check would run, and if check exits 0 -> all is good your job is started. Otherwise the job will stop.
[15:44] <gena2x> jodh, ty once again, will put into script section, thats most clear solution in my case.
[15:46] <Ztyx> xnox: see any errors in this https://gist.github.com/JensRantil/9644545 Seem like it should shut down my application after 10 seconds, right?
[15:50] <Ztyx> Originally, I tried this https://gist.github.com/JensRantil/9644643 but after looking at the mysql.conf I tried the "post-start script" version.
[15:56] <xnox> Ztyx: correct, but you have set it to respawn. thus it just respawns again.
[15:57] <xnox> Ztyx: if you want "exit 1" to stop it, and abort respawns, then you should do "stop; exit 1"
[15:57] <xnox> Ztyx: see cookbook.
[15:57] <xnox> Ztyx: or if you are testing, comment out the respawn / respawn limit
[16:01] <Ztyx> xnox: I see. Goodo to know!
[16:15] <Ztyx> xnox: Still seem to be running when I try this: https://gist.github.com/JensRantil/9644545
[16:16] <Ztyx> The only difference from previously is that I added "stop".
[16:27] <Ztyx> The cookbook contains examples for this for pre-start, but I can't find anything like this for post-start. Also, I've tried both "exit 1" and "exit 2" since http://paste.ubuntu.com/7120379/ seem to use both. Still nothing.
[16:36] <Ztyx> Anyone else with some input as to why my application isn't stopped? Is this supported?
[19:14] <esperegu_> I would like to start a program after pulseaudio is started. there is not upstart script for pulseaudio but only a script in /etc/init.d/ does that also get monitored and if so what should be the condition for the on start entry?
