Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
Hi,
this is probably not directly an upstart issue but no way for me to tell
where this file belongs.
short description:
rc.local points out that it MUST exit with rc0 .Just that someone has set it to
run using sh -e, so that it will break on any error.
That means it doesn't work as the author intended.
You might be able to get what you want by a more complex script that
'traps' and handles the return codes, so that it will still break like
set -e once a command hit an error but instead of breaking immediately
jump to a function that does the exit 0.
(I don't see why the set -e is in place anyway, imho rc.local is used for site
modifications of the startup process, and as such, fully user controlled.
Mostly it'll be in use because something else in the distro is not working...
so it's not really "nice" to influence how it works per default.
Did that come from debian?
List of OS that do not mess with in rc.local: iirc ALL other versions of
unix/linux/bsd. :)
