Instead I'd like to simply e.g. add $ initctl dump-state, which dumps the whole json state. All conf-sources are serialised in that state, and one can examine currently monitored conf sources. Or create an $ initctl list-config-sources which prints serialized conf-sources in a nicer format. I'd rather inspect conf-sources at runtime, since for e.g. session init conf-sources depend on the XDG environment variables which may not be the same if one execs a new/standalone init with the same args, but different environment. -- Regards, Dimitri. https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesodhunt/upstart/bug-1315060/+merge/218953 Your team Upstart Reviewers is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/bug-1315060 into lp:upstart. -- upstart-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
