As such, we'd recommend that you rework the script to use /bin/sh where possible (or just have the Upstart job call the bash script). However, if you really want to use bash or some other shell in the job itself: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#changing-the-default-shell > > Thanks so much; and have a great day -- > > > -- > upstart-devel mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel > -- Kind regards, James. -- James Hunt ____________________________________ #upstart on freenode http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
