I'm not sure if this the exact same issue we are having here, but I am currently banging my head how to describe our systems with events. The dream: emit "offline" -> all network/radio interface based daemons stop. Easy, just add "stop on offline" to network stuff. Now a many of daemons need dbus. Adding "start on starting foo" of all dbus-needing daemons to dbus stanza does not really scale. Hence instead the daemons have "start on started dbus". The problem arrives when one wants to _boot_ into offline mode. The normal boot routine will start dbus, and then all the network-hungry daemons. There seems to be no easy way to convince upstart to start only a selection of "start on started dbus" daemons. -- upstart-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
