I have the following line in my crontab @reboot sleep 20 screen -d -S syncthing -m syncthing I added a 20 second delay to avoid race conditions, but from the last 4 boots, I have a mail that says - Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied What possibly changed with my sleep? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to screen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380080 Title: Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied (convert init to upstart) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/1380080/+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
[Bug 1380080] Re: Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied (convert init to upstart)
NOTE - the issue is easily fixed (at least for me). I want to run my minecraft script (like others that seem to find this thread just like I did) which requires screen. However the default priority for my script would be the same (i.e. 20) as the one for screen (which also is going to be in the same rc.d folders) and since 'm' comes before 's' - it will attempt to kick off first - and fail. Solution: when updating rc.d - specify later and earlier priorities for your scripts startup and shutdown than the requirements might have. In my case sudo update-rc.d minecraft defaults 99 10 works like a charm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to screen in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380080 Title: Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied (convert init to upstart) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/1380080/+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

Mmm.. and don't forget to remove the old defaults for your script first.

I also suffer from this issue. No workaround or fix is working for me a.t.m.

this also affects me, i'm running Xubuntu 14.04.1.
