> [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/557177 This doesn't appear to be a bug in Upstart. A service file assumed the caller would set MOUNTPOINT=/tmp in the environment, and invoked this (inline) shell script: > cd "${MOUNTPOINT}" > find . -depth -xdev $TEXPR $EXCEPT ! -type d -delete I assume you could launch bad code from systemd just as easily. (Actually, if you can't, that's probably a limitation). Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
