[00:31] <adfeno> Hi all! :)
[00:32] <adfeno> We have a job script that is in a directory inside "/root" and we have a symlink pointing to it from "/etc/init"
[00:32] <adfeno> But, for some reason, Upstart-related tools are unable to remember that the service exists across reboots.
[00:33] <adfeno> We always end up having to do `initctl reload-configuration`
[00:33] <LordShadowWing> It's quite annoying
[00:33] <adfeno> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[00:34] <adfeno> By the way: LordShadowWing's copy of Upstart is the one affected
[00:34] <adfeno> I'm just assisting him.
[00:35] <adfeno> For those interested:
[00:35] <adfeno> sudo ls -al ~root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf
[00:35] <adfeno> -r--r--r-- 2 root root 351 Dec 31  1969 /root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf
[00:37] <adfeno> ls -al /etc/init/guix-daemon.conf
[00:37] <adfeno> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55 Jan  8 14:19 /etc/init/guix-daemon.conf -> /root/.guix-profile/lib/upstart/system/guix-daemon.conf
[00:40] <adfeno> LordShadowWing: I'll try reproducing your issue.
[00:41] <LordShadowWing> adfeno, I could give you ssh access
[00:41] <adfeno> LordShadowWing: Don't worry... Let's see If I can test it from here.
[00:41] <LordShadowWing> ok
[00:41] <adfeno> Wait a moment, have to reboot.
[00:51] <adfeno> #upstart: We have decided to give ourselves some time on the matter. Thanks.: )
[06:09] <twb> I've got an abandonware ubuntu 10.04 server here (upstat 0.6.5), and I'm trying to give its dovecot a higher nofiles limit.  Do I need to explicitly tell upstart to reread /etc/init/foo.conf after I edit it (like "systemctl daemon-reload")?  My memory says no, but I don't see any "init: reloading!" messages in syslog…
[06:10] <twb> Ah initctl reload-configuration
[06:11] <twb> slice init: Failed to spawn dovecot-inmate main process: unable to set "nofile" resource limit: Operation not permitted
[06:11] <twb> Grargh
[06:28] <twb> OK "limit nofile 9999 9999" worked, so maybe "limit nofile unlimited unlimited" is just not allowed
[22:31] <Md> how I do I debug upstart hanging at boot time? I have managed to boot in bash, open a second shell and then exec'ed upstart
