Re: sysvinit backward compatibility in upstart .5

I am trying to do the same with the code in trunk. I notice that runlevel, telinit etc are not yet implemented. Are there plans of implementing them? If they will be implemented, is the plan to use the existing socket interface for telinit to talk to upstart or will that be replaced by dbus. In which case, dbus should be started pretty early in the startup sequence. In the mean time, what are the alternatives I have to achieve the backward compatibility with sysvint? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks and Regards, Sandeep They will be implemented, and in fact are. They currently reside in the dbus-userspace branch on launchpad, but merging is imminent. There should be a release soon with all of this in place. --CJD -- upstart-devel mailing list upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel

Meaning basically using the starting/started/stopping/stopped events of a set of SysV compatibility jobs themselves. Not all of it and not easily. But then, why do you need to emulate sysv at all? Well we do have quite a bit of legacy software that have not yet moved to Upstart style jobs. Can you help me understand which part is not possible? Sarvi Well, you wouldn't be able to use telinit, which makes it hard to tell the system to shut down or reboot or really do anything. --CJD -- upstart-devel mailing list upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
