| menace | when i define a job like in http://pastebin.com/3ziQgxBT for shutdown (it works only for shutdown, which is intended), does this block, even if that script operation takes longer? | 15:09 |
|---|---|---|
| menace | in the t1.sh script i did atm only a touch, but i want to run a service over the fs... | 15:10 |
| menace | and if that does not block, the thing will not be completed, since it will take some time... | 15:10 |
| menace | or should i rather use a pre-start script? | 15:16 |
| xnox | menace: you have some time, but eventually after timeouts it will be killed. | 15:49 |
| xnox | menace: what is that command doing? | 15:50 |
| menace | scanning java libraries for viruses... stupid enterprise requirement >.< | 15:50 |
| xnox | menace: are you sure you can't do it earlier? this has potential to hold up files open on the filesystem, thus corrupting and requiring recovery on boot. | 15:50 |
| xnox | menace: if that is quick, than it should be fine. Otherwise, it's best to use cron to execute that. or user-session job instead, which can execute on logout for example. | 15:51 |
| menace | if you can say a appropriate signal on upstart or dbus, which i could use? i have no idea which to use.. and upstart was rather easy to get | 15:52 |
| menace | ah, user-session job, okay, i'll try that | 15:52 |
| menace | a question: if my user-session-job is not complete, will the upstart system halt, until it is, or will it just shutdown? | 18:02 |
| xnox | menace: there is maximum delay, after which all processes are killed and system is shutdown. | 18:42 |
| xnox | menace: if you wish to inhibit shutdown, see dbus apis to notify about that. | 18:42 |
| xnox | i'm not sure, but it's something in gnomish* fredesktopish* things. | 18:43 |
| menace | this seems like a complex issue o_O | 18:53 |
| menace | at least, because i want the script started, if the user triggered shutdown, i then want to stop it and scan the directory | 18:55 |
| menace | well.. since my target platform does not have systemd/logind (which is the inhibit thingie)... is there a configuration possibility to extend the upstart maximum delay? *desperated* | 19:12 |
| menace | preferably without recompiling upstart? <.< | 19:13 |
