Hi, Thanks for taking the time to open a bug and help in making Ubuntu better. I'm not able to recreate the issue you're seeing. Working off the doc at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit . I've attached the user-data that was created by write-mime-multipart, but here is what I did to try to reproduce:
# ami-9c78c0f5 = us-east-1 ubuntu-precise-12.04-amd64-server-20121026.1 $ cat my-boothook #!/bin/sh echo "=== $(date): running $0 $* ===" | tee -a /root/boothook.log echo myhostname > /etc/hostname $ cat my-userscript #!/bin/sh echo "=== $(date): running $0 $* ===" | tee -a /root/userscript.log $ write-mime-multipart --output=userdata.txt \ my-boothook:text/cloud-boothook my-userscript:text/x-shellscript $ euca-run-instances --key=brickies --instance-type=t1.micro \ --user-data-file=userdata.txt ami-9c78c0f5 Then, inside the instance I did: $ sudo sh -c 'for f in /root/*.log; do echo "#$f"; cat $f; done' #/root/boothook.log === Wed Dec 5 19:09:36 UTC 2012: running /var/lib/cloud/instances/i-06d52c78/boothooks/my-boothook === #/root/userscript.log === Wed Dec 5 19:09:49 UTC 2012: running /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/my-userscript === That shows that the scripts ran 13 seconds apart (one early in boot and one later). And by their names, its clear that one ran as a boothook and one as a user-script. ** Attachment added: "user-data created with write-mime-multipart" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1086646/+attachment/3452431/+files/userdata.txt ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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/1086646 Title: text/x-shellscript doesn't run if text/cloud-boothook present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1086646/+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
