--- Begin Message ---Package: upstart Version: upstart/1.10-2 Severity: minor While attempting to support an /etc/default file for backward compatibility, I struggled with finding the right way to import the environment settings into the upstart job and use them appropriately. I'm not sure if there's a piece of documentation on how to handle this that I missed. I finally arrived at: expect stop script if [ -f /etc/default/lbcd ] ; then . /etc/default/lbcd fi /usr/sbin/lbcd -f -l -Z $DAEMON_OPTS end script but, as I'm sure you know, this is subtlely wrong and will cause initctl to just hang. The correct incantation is: expect stop script if [ -f /etc/default/lbcd ] ; then . /etc/default/lbcd fi exec /usr/sbin/lbcd -f -l -Z $DAEMON_OPTS end script The example of script in the init(5) man page is correct, but I don't believe the requirement to use exec is explicitly mentioned. It would be good to stress this, since it's not immediately obvious that the use of a script will cause upstart to lose track of the started process otherwise. (In retrospect, it's obvious what the underlying implementation must look like, but I don't think everyone will figure this out.) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
