| IOMonster | Hello all! Quick question about pre-stop scripts - is there a way to tell Upstart to not restart an app if it closes while the pre-stop script is running? | 17:12 |
|---|---|---|
| IOMonster | as part of my pre-stop script i have to send a kill signal to the process upstart is supervising, and upstart sees the application end and restarts it | 17:13 |
| IOMonster | (i'm using upstart 0.6.5, and trying to work around an issue where runuser only gives my application 2 seconds to clean up before it gets SIGKILL'd) | 17:14 |
| IOMonster | so my pre-stop script sends a SIGTERM to the process upstart is supervising and waits for it to clean up | 17:14 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| IOMonster | y'know, nevermind. i just realized that i should be using "expect fork" so upstart doesn't track runuser's pid | 17:25 |
| IOMonster | sometimes, the simple solution is the one you don't think of until you've done something the hard way :) | 17:25 |
| AnrDaemon | IOMonster: I'm afraid it's a problem in your version. | 17:59 |
| AnrDaemon | IOMonster: Also, if it is at all possible, don't run your applications in forking mode under supervising init daemons. | 18:00 |
| IOMonster | AnrDaemon: indeed, the application isn't actually forking | 18:11 |
| IOMonster | the script section does "exec runuser <blah>" | 18:11 |
| AnrDaemon | WTF | 18:11 |
| AnrDaemon | WHY? | 18:11 |
| IOMonster | <blah> doesn't fork, it runs exec java | 18:11 |
| IOMonster | hm? | 18:12 |
| AnrDaemon | Just start daemon directly with upstart. | 18:12 |
| IOMonster | unfortunately | 18:12 |
| IOMonster | i need to run this as a user other than 'root' | 18:12 |
| IOMonster | so, runuser is required | 18:12 |
| AnrDaemon | DO THAT WITH UPSTART | 18:12 |
| AnrDaemon | runuser is useless. | 18:12 |
| IOMonster | no need for all caps :) | 18:12 |
| IOMonster | upstart 0.6.5 doesn't have user options | 18:12 |
| AnrDaemon | Then upgrade your shit already, it's well over six years. | 18:13 |
| IOMonster | http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#stanzas-by-category | 18:13 |
| IOMonster | setgid is only 1.4 | 18:13 |
| IOMonster | unfortunately i'm not in control of the init version my OS is using | 18:13 |
| AnrDaemon | $ init --version | 18:13 |
| AnrDaemon | init (upstart 1.12.1) | 18:13 |
| AnrDaemon | And it's a 4 years old version. | 18:14 |
| AnrDaemon | Then use a different OS. | 18:14 |
| IOMonster | yep, amazon linux is based off cent5, which is indeed ancient | 18:14 |
| IOMonster | however | 18:14 |
| AnrDaemon | LOL | 18:14 |
| IOMonster | it's what i've QA'd | 18:14 |
| AnrDaemon | Get a better hosting. Seriosuly. | 18:14 |
| AnrDaemon | It's beyond stupid. | 18:14 |
| IOMonster | changing OS just because upstart is ancient in this version isn't an option | 18:14 |
| IOMonster | this isn't a hobby project | 18:15 |
| AnrDaemon | The more stupid it sounds. | 18:15 |
| IOMonster | haha | 18:15 |
| AnrDaemon | If you are unable to use nromal, quality software, this is just… not sane. | 18:15 |
| IOMonster | thanks for your input | 18:15 |
| IOMonster | i am using quality software, it's been QA'd by myself and amazon ec2 engineers | 18:16 |
| IOMonster | i'm not going to re-QA a whole OS just because i can't use a specific option | 18:16 |
| IOMonster | if this was my home box, sure, i'd switch to fedora or something more recent | 18:16 |
| IOMonster | but a full review of all configurations, applications, and even kernel modules would cost me time i don't have | 18:17 |
| AnrDaemon | You know, what? Nobody is going to help you with extremely outdated, probably insecure versions of software. | 18:17 |
| IOMonster | ok, i'm trying to be nice here, but seriously why are you so aggressive? | 18:17 |
| IOMonster | i asked a question, answered it myself and wasn't rude | 18:18 |
