This functionality is already there. The event (stopped) is stored in UPSTART_EVENT, and then arguments to the event (foo or bar in the case of your example), will be passed as arguments to the script, so you can get to them like you would to get arguments with bash, e.g. if the script was triggered by 'stopped foo', then $UPSTART_EVENT will be stopped and $1 will be foo. > BTW, sshd's been crashing pretty regularly on my up-to-date Gutsy > system.

That gonna happen someday? :-) Yes, it should do ;) But maybe you should file a bug about it crashing. -- upstart-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
