Public bug reported:
While tracking down a problem related to upstart, I decided to check the
syntax of all my upstart init files. I wrote this simple script:
for a in /etc/init/*; do init-checkconf $a; done 2>&1 | grep invalid
This script said that a number of files had syntax errors. When the
file with the error is checked individually on the command line with
init-checkconf, it shows no error.
Running the script again showed a different set of files with errors.
Checking each file individually on the command line does not show an
error.
Running it a third time gave yet another set of files with errors.
Why would this give different results each time it is run? Why does
init-checkconf report seemingly random syntax errors when run in a
script?
