I think it is an upstart issue. I am noticing this issue in Ubuntu 14.04 which uses upstart. This is what i can debug so far:
According to this documentation: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#job-environment When Upstart runs a job, it provides it with a very restrictive environment which contains just two system variables: - TERM - PATH These are the exact two variables i can notice in proc filesystem set as well. I will post if i find something more. On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 2:54 PM, Peter Steele <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I see that as well. Also the case for the mesos master.
