Hello, I'm trying to follow the guide about how to detect a job respawning: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#detect-if-a-job-stopped-before-reaching-its-respawn-limit
First step is this draft of a "watchdog" job: $ cat /etc/init/alert-on-fail.conf start on stopped PROCESS!=respawn script echo "job '$JOB' just failed" >> /tmp/failures.log env >> /tmp/failures.log end script Then, I try to kill the target job using its PID, in the two following scenarios: 1. Target job doesn't contain "respawn" 2. Target job does contain "respawn" In scenario 1, I get content in /tmp/failures.log, which is expected: job 'foo' just failed UPSTART_INSTANCE= INSTANCE= UPSTART_JOB=alert-on-fail TERM=linux PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin UPSTART_EVENTS=stopped PWD=/ RESULT=ok JOB=foo In scenario 2 however, I don't get anything. I'm noting that the $PROCESS environment variable is not set, and that $RESULT is "ok" although I'm expecting it to be "failed". What am I missing? What is the proper way to detect that a process is being respawned?
