I chatted a bit with james, and he also said: <smoser> woudl it be possible to have a single job that fired on halt, poweroff, reboot? <jodh> that job will fire on halt/poweroff/reboot already. <jodh> console output prolly makes more sense, yeah, so just drop the redirection. <smoser> so if it runs on halt/poweroff/reboot, is there a way that i can determine which? <jodh> yes - the RUNLEVEL variable in that job will be set to 0, 1, or 6. See "man 7 runlevel" for details <jodh> bear in mind that the job needs to be quick as if things take too long on shutdown, they get killed of course.
So, i suggest we just add this to cloud-init ubuntu packaging. ** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) => cloud-init (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018554 Title: write timestamp to console on halt/reboot/shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1018554/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
