I have an upstart script that starts an ephemeral container running a oneshot buildbot slave. The slave runs one build, then exits, which makes the ephemeral container terminate; upstart then restarts the ephemeral container.
Fairly often, when the container is coming up after being restarted, it stays up for only a second or two, then goes down again, and then finally stays up for good. The buildbot log shows something like this: 2013-01-22 05:12:55+0000 [-] twistd 12.3.0 (/home/dank/slave-state/ubu1004/bin/python 2.6.5) starting up. ... 2013-01-22 05:13:31+0000 [Broker,client] Connected to i7:9010; slave is ready 2013-01-22 05:13:31+0000 [Broker,client] sending application-level keepalives every 600 seconds 2013-01-22 05:13:32+0000 [Broker,client] SlaveBuilder.remote_print(pyflakes-ubu1004-master): message from master: ping 2013-01-22 05:13:32+0000 [-] Received SIGTERM, shutting down. which indicates that the guest's init has sent the buildbot slave SIGTERM for some reason only one second after it finally manages to connect. (Sometimes it happens before the slave manages to connect.) If I run lxc-ssh to connect to the container (it's a little script that sits in a loop like lxc-start-ephemeral does), I see something similar; the login succeeds but then I get logged out. Has anybody seen this kind of behavior? It's as if a quarter of the time, the ephemeral container starts up in a bad state, and exits in a few seconds. And since the container is flaky, I don't get a lasting record of what went wrong. (I tried cranking up the debug level on init with initctl log-priority debug, but that generated gibberish lines in the host's syslog.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
