Hi Mike, >> - A user stopped the job (stop job) In this case pre-stop will be called (in the 2nd and 3rd case only post-stop will be called) * With this stanza, whenever the main script/exec exits, without the goal of the job having been changed to stop, the job will be started again. This includes running pre-start <http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#pre-start>, post-start <http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#post-start> and post-stop<http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#post-stop>. Note that pre-stop <http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#pre-stop> will not be run.
>> - The job died repeatedly, passing the respawn limit and stayed down upstart will send 'stopped' event with RESULT=failed (env variable). You can write a job-failhandler which is called in case if you job exhaust respawn limit and totally failed : * start on stopped job-A RESULT=failed I have a feeling that in upstart 1.5 that variable was available from post-stop of a failed job but in upstart 1.10 it isn't true. BTW, second case doesn't lead to a 'stopped RESULT=failed' event. Second case won't lead to this in case if pre-stop succeeded. Guess `failhandler` job is usual way to do what you want ( http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#run-a-job-only-if-another-job-fails). 2014/1/21 Michael Barrett <[email protected]> > Hi - is there anyway to tell the difference between these three scenarios > with an upstart job (that has respawn enabled): > > - A user stopped the job (stop job) > - The job died and restarted successfully > - The job died repeatedly, passing the respawn limit and stayed down > > Thanks! > > What I'm trying to do is monitor a process (our monitoring system > actually) to tell when/if it dies.
