Hi Caleb, sorry for not responding sooner I've been quite busy. You really just need to serialize your attempts to start nslcd. This is actually doable pretty easily. Do this in your if-up.d script:
flock /etc/init/nslcd.conf start wait-for-state WAIT_FOR=nslcd WAITER=$INTERFACE WAIT_STATE=started This will ensure that only one of them is ever running at a time, so if there's one about to fail, this will wait for that. Then it uses the 'wait-for-state' upstart job (only available in Ubuntu 11.10 and later) that will just exit gracefully if it is already started, and if it has not started yet, will try to start it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806761 Title: Feature Request: Upstart scripts for nslcd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-pam-ldapd/+bug/806761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
