Ubuntu has 8 run levels (0-6 and S), I want to add the run level 7. I have done the following: 1.- Created the folder /etc/rc7.d/, which contains some symbolic links to /etc/init.d/ 2.- Created the file /etc/event.d/rc7 This is its content: # rc7 - runlevel 7 compatibility # # This task runs the old sysv-rc runlevel 7 ("multi-user") ...
Hi, I know that Ubuntu (and Fedora) uses Upstart istead of the classical System V init daemon (SysVinit). I would like to know how to detect when a USB-drive has been inserted, mount it and copy some files to it. I would like Upstart to call my own script for this. If it is possible I would like Upstart to call the script for a specifi...
I use echo in Upstart scripts to log things: script echo "main: some data" >> log end script post-start script echo "post-start: another data" >> log end script Now these two run in parallel, so in the logs I often see: main: post-start: some data another data This is not critical, so I won't employ proper synching, but th...

I've coded an node.js app that when get executed need to return CWD from process to be able to read files on disk. When I start the app directly with node in the actual app directory... #!sh node app.js everything is working fine and "process.cwd()" return the good path. But when the script is started with upstart or even direct...
I've got a memory leak in Upstart init process (pid 1), what options I have on debugging it? EDIT: Suggest me some real tools for this, manually putting printfs or calculating memory allocations by hand isn't gonna cut it. Also dumping init core and poking around that is not really an option. UPD1: valgrind doesn't work. Replacing /sbi...
