strace shows that upstart *does* read /usr/share/upstart/sessions/bamfdaemon.override successfully. Also, if I replace the override with
exec true then "true" is being executed, and the job loops because the *.conf has "restart" (i. e. expected). This opens the hypothesis that the job is being started through something else than the "start on" condition. But it is not being referenced by any other *.conf file. And indeed, even if I drop the "start on" from bamfdaemon.conf it still gets started. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585087 Title: *.override files do not work for session jobs Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: bamfdaemon ships a session job /usr/share/upstart/sessions/bamfdaemon.conf. According to upstart(5) it should be possible to disable that with an override: $ cat /usr/share/upstart/sessions/bamfdaemon.override manual but this doesn't work, bamfdaemon is still started. I also tried to put "start on disabled" into the *.override file, no effect either. (Background: I'm trying to migrate jobs to systemd units one by one, thus for every systemd user unit that I add I need to disable the corresponding upstart job).
