Just doing some more testing and while I understand while this would most likely not work, I'm still wondering if it's documented or not:
[nova-cavium5:/etc/init/jobs.d]$ cat env_test console output env VAR=0 script echo "BEFORE: $VAR" let "VAR=$VAR+1" echo "AFTER: $VAR" end script pre-stop script echo "POST MESS: $VAR" end script [nova-cavium5:~]$ start env_test [nova-cavium5:~]$ BEFORE: 0 AFTER: 1 [nova-cavium5:~]$ The more strange issue is that the echo in pre-stop isn't executed -- is there a known issue with console output and pre-stop / post-stop? -Garrett -- upstart-devel mailing list upstart-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
