Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
Version: 10.4 Beta, latest as of 21.04.2010. Sometimes Upstart seems to get confused when "respawn" statement is used for a service and respawns when process exits normally on explicit stop event. Log then looks like this: Apr 22 09:39:08 ubuntu1004alpha3crescendo init: Connection from private client Apr 22 09:39:08 ubuntu1004alpha3crescendo init: sav-protect goal changed from start to stop Apr 22 09:39:08 ubuntu1004alpha3crescendo init: sav-protect state changed from running to pre-stop Apr 22 09:39:08 ubuntu1004alpha3crescendo init: sav-protect pre-stop process (3415) Apr 22 09:39:09 ubuntu1004alpha3crescendo savd: savd.daemon: Sophos Anti-Virus daemon stopped.

According to my observations this happens most of the time but not always. Just this morning I got it to stop the service cleanly, then I started, killed the service abnormally and after it respawned stop from then on only respawns it. I though it may be related to abnormal killing before, but even after fresh boot stopping the service only respawns now. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Upstart respawn handling seems sometimes broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
