| [04:43] <MrBusiness> Does anyone happen to have a high-level guide to understand what a GNU/Linux "service" is, and the attendant concerns for someone needing to write one? | |
| [04:45] <mfisch> MrBusiness: that's a pretty broad question, what are you trying to do? | |
| [04:45] <MrBusiness> Well, let me see if I can put it into words | |
| [04:46] <MrBusiness> I've been assigned to convert some manner of program into a service. I see that much of what constitutes a service appears to be a set of commonly accepted scripting interfaces, as outlined in /etc/init.d/skeleton, at least assuming I have not already erred in my understanding. | |
| [04:47] <MrBusiness> Now, that said, I also notice that in order for these things to work, the services usually write their PID to a file upon launching so that the appropriate PID can be interacted with during later service calls to that process. | |
| [04:47] <mfisch> MrBusiness: hold on | |
| [04:47] <MrBusiness> Which gives me cause to wonder: if I wanted to variations on the same binary running as separate services, does this imply that I would need some sort of advanced logic with which to distinguish them and their respective PID identification files? | |
| [04:48] <mfisch> MrBusiness: so if I were writing a new service, I would use upstart, not the old sysv stuff | |
| [04:48] <mfisch> MrBusiness: look in /etc/init for examples, and here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | |
| [04:48] <MrBusiness> Is upstart based on the same sort of thing that came out of RedHat, or is it specific to Ubuntu? | |
| [04:49] <mfisch> MrBusiness: I do not know the origins, I do know that Ubuntu uses it | |
| [04:49] <mfisch> MrBusiness: and so did webOS | |
| [04:49] <geofft> If you're talking about old-style (init.d) services, you may be interested in start-stop-daemon, especially with --pidfile and --make-pidfile | |
| [04:50] <MrBusiness> hmm, ok | |
| [04:50] <MrBusiness> Well, that's helpful. At this point, I guess I need to figure out just what it is that I'll be interacting with. | |
| [04:50] <mfisch> the last service I wrote watched a directory using inotify and responded to changes there | |
| [04:50] <mfisch> there are dozens of ways to talk to your service of cours | |
| [04:51] <MrBusiness> I see. That's somewhat less than reassuring, but so it goes. | |
| [04:51] <geofft> upstart (Ubuntu), systemd (Red Hat), etc. are relatively similar at a high level -- you write a config file describing the service that init uses, instead of a shell script | |
| [04:51] <geofft> and yes, the init.d style is just a shell script with conventions. | |
| [04:52] <MrBusiness> Ah, ok. That's probably what I'm dealing with here then. | |
| [04:52] <mfisch> MrBusiness: you said it's a program, so how do you communicate with it now? | |
| [04:52] <MrBusiness> at the moment, the only methods of communicating with it are defining its startup parameters | |
| [04:53] <MrBusiness> after that, it just sits around doing its business periodically | |
| [04:54] <mfisch> MrBusiness: so it runs on a schedule? | |
| [04:54] <MrBusiness> yes | |
| [04:54] <RAOF> Does it perhaps then just want to be called periodically by cron, rather than being a daemon itself? | |
| [04:55] <mfisch> RAOF: not a bad plan. | |
| [04:55] <MrBusiness> No, because it was designed to run continuously. There are parts that run as cron jobs, but those parts are not being registered as services. | |
| [04:55] <RAOF> Ok. | |
| [04:56] <mfisch> MrBusiness: do you need to change those start-up parameters while the code is running now? | |
| [04:56] <MrBusiness> Part of what these things do is watch directories, and I don't really have control over their requirements. I was told to make them into services, and so I am attempting, as best I can, to carry out that order, whether it ultimately comes to good or ill. | |
| [04:56] <RAOF> MrBusiness: http://www.netzmafia.de/skripten/unix/linux-daemon-howto.html seems like a reasonable HOWTO for the nuts and bolts of converting something to a daemon. | |
| [04:56] <MrBusiness> No, I don't need to change them. I just need to get them installed and running as proper services. | |
| [04:56] <mfisch> MrBusiness: I wonder if all you need to do is make a simple upstart script and fire it up | |
| [04:57] <RAOF> Yeah. If they're already daemonising properly you should just be able to write a very simple upstart script. | |
| [04:57] <MrBusiness> Might be. I'm working from some legacy code to do this. I haven't quite described what is, in my view, the really onerous aspect of the thing, but it's difficult for me to describe it. | |
| [04:57] <MrBusiness> Let me see if I can explain it | |
| [04:57] <mfisch> MrBusiness: my last service was a python script that I wanted running when the system started | |
| [04:58] <mfisch> MrBusiness: I just put command-line args inside the upstart job, you could use a conf file or gsettings to change params too | |
| [04:58] <MrBusiness> One common thing I see in most services is that typically they tend to refer to a daemon process, of which there is typically only a single instance executing on a given system. | |
| [04:58] <MrBusiness> I don't think that is a reasonable assumption for the processes I am attempting to convert into services. | |
| [04:59] <MrBusiness> In fact, I am certain that there may be multiple instances of these processes, each running to perform similar tasks, but on different locations | |
| [04:59] <MrBusiness> and that each must be considered its own service | |
| [05:00] <mfisch> MrBusiness: so you have upstart fire-up either N jobs or have a wrapper that reads a conf file and fires up N instances | |
| [05:00] <StevenK> So, this sounds more like a deployment problem, rather than related to Ubuntu development ... | |
| [05:00] <mfisch> MrBusiness: you can put actual shell scripts into upstart so you could read a conf file in there | |
| [05:00] <MrBusiness> Perhaps it is. Should I be in some kind of #deployment channel? | |
| [05:00] <RAOF> MrBusiness: Perhaps rather than talking about terminology (service, process, etc) we start talking about *behaviour*. What do you need to change in their behaviour? Do you need the ability to monitor them with “status $SERVICENAME”? Do you need them to be started on boot? Do you need them to be restarted when they crash? | |
| [05:01] <mfisch> MrBusiness: upstart will restart crashed services, which is nice | |
| [05:02] <MrBusiness> let me think for a minute | |
| [05:02] <RAOF> #upstart might be a better channel for this, indeed. | |
| [05:03] <mfisch> MrBusiness: may I suggest that if you truly have N processes watching a bunch of directories that you write a wrapper (python would be easy) to do all the watching (started by upstart) and fire up your program based on what directory changed? | |
| [05:03] <mfisch> RAOF: agreed. hopefully we gave him enough to consider | |
| [05:05] <MrBusiness> mfisch, a nice idea, but unfortunately beyond my power to enact at this point | |
| [05:05] <MrBusiness> I don't have sufficient control of the requirements. it sounds to me like I get to watch this thing blow up in my face. rather than spend anymore time on it, I think I'll just update my resume. | |
| [05:06] <MrBusiness> Gotta know when to hold 'em, gotta know when to fold 'em. | |
| [05:12] <RAOF> MrBusiness: I obviously don't have a good grasp of your requirements, but nothing so far sounds particularly difficult; drop by #upstart and I'm sure we can set you up with something. | |
| [05:12] <MrBusiness> alrighty | |
| [05:13] <MrBusiness> Only one thing about it though, is that I'm not even certain that I'll have upstart available to me. I may be rolling with the init.d methods, because that may be the only thing available on the target environment. | |

| [10:22] <cjwatson> I think I'll just nuke that - the .orig checksum in Debian's .dsc is wrong, but there's a subsequent version which unpacks properly | |
| [10:22] <cjwatson> it was in experimental anyway | |
| [10:23] <cjwatson> will need to wait until the current run has finished though | |

| [10:24] <cjwatson> it's dated a while back | |
| [10:24] <cjwatson> actually I think what happened is that it was correct at the time, but it was removed from experimental and then a new version was uploaded later with a different orig ... | |

| [17:24] <didrocks> seems everytime I swapped, I get this | |
| [17:24] <apw> didrocks, the only diskio and cpu usage issue i have heard of is a possible issue xfs when the cache gets full | |
| [17:24] <apw> didrocks, otherwise no i am not seeing the same herre on anything | |
| [17:24] <didrocks> seems that seb128 got something similar somethimes | |
| [17:25] <cjwatson> jhunt: done | |
| [17:25] <didrocks> apw: I have such a behavior once a day at least, which forces me to reboot, anyway I can ensre that the CPU usage comes from some kernel threads? | |
| [17:25] <jhunt> cjwatson: thanks! | |
| [17:25] <apw> didrocks, get the machine up to date, and if it is reproducible lets get a bug filed please with a good description of your reproduce by | |
| [17:25] <apw> didrocks, and include w | |
| [17:25] <stgraber> jhunt: I like that changelog! | |
| [17:25] <apw> didrocks, and include a ps -ef with the bad processes listed please | |
| [17:26] <didrocks> apw: well, I'm up to date and getting that for now some weeks :) | |
| [17:27] <apw> didrocks, yep and we had a pile of stable updates in the last kernel which was just the last day or two, so i want to make sure its not already fixed by that | |
| [17:27] <NoaHall> Any Jockey devs in here? | |
| [17:27] <didrocks> apw: ok, let me check I have the latest and greatest | |
| [17:46] <slangasek> smoser: ah; this cloud script that's looking inside disks certainly fits the bill | |
| [17:47] <pitti> apw, ogasawara: I binNEWed the new kernel, finally built on armel; can you please upload -meta? | |
| [17:47] <ogasawara> pitti: yep, will upload right now | |

| [17:55] <stgraber> slangasek: hey, I seem to remember you knowing a bit about lvm2 and udev ;) I upgraded two of my servers to Precise and noticed a "sh -c /sbin/lvm vgscan; /sbin/lvm vgchange -a y" and it's child "vgchange -a -y" apparently spawned by udev but never exitting as expected. It's not causing any problem on these machines though but looked weird. | |
| [17:55] <stgraber> slangasek: a very quick LP search gave me bug 802626 as a potential candidate for that weirdness | |
| [17:56] <slangasek> stgraber: yes, the bug is still outstanding; there's a proposed fix from hallyn that I haven't managed to find time to review yet | |

| [18:05] <stgraber> hallyn: well, in my case it's only annoying when running "ps aux" on my all new server ;) it doesn't actually prevent anything from starting or cause any other issue that I could see | |
| [18:05] <hallyn> interesting | |
| [18:06] <stgraber> I have 3 PVs and 3 VGs on that machine, 1 of them is on RAID1 and contains the root LV, the two others are currently empty (no LV at all) | |
| [18:08] <stgraber> my other server has hardware RAID (HP) but also has 3 PVs (3 RAID volumes) and 3 VGs, though in this case, they all have LVs and are all used | |

| [21:00] <smoser> slangasek, i can look tomorrow. is there a doc on what i'm supposed to see ? is it writing to /var/log/upstart.log ? | |

| === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates | |
| [21:35] <kklimonda> hey, I need a place to host a small file for transmission SRU - so called blocklist (a list of ip ranges that BT client does not allow connecting to and rejects connections from) | |
| [21:36] <broder> kklimonda: what does modern transmission use if the project isn't hosting the file anymore? | |
| [21:36] <broder> (and can the sru switch to doing that instead) | |
| [21:37] <kklimonda> broder: they have changed UI providing a way to set custom url instead | |
| [21:37] <apw> cyphermox, may also explain didrocks symptoms | |
| [21:37] <broder> kklimonda: is there a default? | |
| [21:37] <kklimonda> broder: no, it's set to example.com | |
| [21:37] <kklimonda> or something like that | |
| [21:37] <apw> cyphermox, mine is growing slowly but surely too: | |
| [21:37] <apw> 2942 apw 20 0 7165m 1.7g 3116 S 2 45.6 23:09.04 nm-applet | |
| [21:37] <broder> kklimonda: it sounds like it's not actually mandatory anymore. can we just disable the blocklist? | |
| [21:38] <kklimonda> broder: but blocklists just don't work in 10.04 | |
| [21:38] <kklimonda> broder: there is no "initial" list so there is no way to use this feature anymore :) | |
| [21:39] <kklimonda> (it has never been mandatory, but it's a very popular feature of BT clients and we got some reports of it not working) | |
| [21:39] <broder> i see | |
| [21:40] <infinity> kklimonda: I'm not sure why we'd need to host a file? There doesn't need to be a default blocklist (and, in fact, there isn't...) | |
| [21:41] <kklimonda> infinity: but in 10.04 there is no way to change the blocklist url | |
| [21:41] <kklimonda> infinity: it's hardcoded to http://update.transmissionbt.com/level1 in code, and the url is gone :) | |
| [21:41] <infinity> kklimonda: Which is unfortunate, but "oh well"? | |
| [21:42] <infinity> kklimonda: If you know what was in that file, you could just ship a copy with the package on-disk, and point to that. | |
| [21:42] <kklimonda> infinity: hmm, that may work | |
| [21:42] <infinity> kklimonda: But, really, there will be a new LTS in a couple of months, and it seems remarkably unlikely that the intersection of "people who torrent", "people who care about blocklists" and "people who run old releases" is very large. | |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | |
| [21:47] <kklimonda> infinity: yeah, it's still a bug though and us not fixing it for package in main sucks a little | |

| [22:41] <YokoZar> slangasek: cjwatson: I just read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libidl/+bug/931388 and it's worrying me because I used depends: wine1.4:any in the new wine1.4 packages as part of multiarching. Will I need to do the dummy-package-with arch:all workaround? | |
| [22:41] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 931388 in libidl (Ubuntu) "overenthusiastic adoption of "Depends: cpp:any" syntax" [High,Triaged] | |
| [22:42] <YokoZar> (relatedly, wine1.4 is still half in the queue because wine1.2 and wine1.3 aren't yet deleted from the archive) | |
| [22:42] <slangasek> YokoZar: I don't know what workaround you're proposing, but you aren't meant to be using :any yet in depends | |
| [22:42] <YokoZar> slangasek: the workaround is at the bottom of this page: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641614 | |
| [22:42] <ubottu> Debian bug 641614 in libidl "please convert to multiarch" [Normal,Open] | |
| [22:44] <slangasek> YokoZar: ah; ugly, but yes, that would do it | |
| === dduffey is now known as dduffey_afk | |
| [23:09] <cjwatson> YokoZar,slangasek: as I said in the Debian bug, I haven't tested that workaround yet, and it's mostly instinct | |
| [23:10] <cjwatson> YokoZar,slangasek: if that approach works, I think it might be worth documenting in MultiarchSpec for the time being; I forgot this problem myself when talking to TREllis about the libidl implementation | |
| [23:10] <slangasek> yeah, I've only eyeballed it; I don't see any reason it wouldn't work | |
| [23:10] <YokoZar> cjwatson: is the wine upgrade case different from the libidl case as wine already requires a new packagename? | |
| [23:11] <cjwatson> YokoZar: that doesn't make any difference | |
| [23:11] <YokoZar> cjwatson: slangasek: regardless, I'll have to test it anyway. | |
| [23:11] <cjwatson> YokoZar: it's still entirely possible that lucid's apt will be called upon to parse it | |
| [23:11] <cjwatson> or for that matter germinate | |
| [23:15] <YokoZar> cjwatson: Are you implying Wine will be pulled in by germinate :D | |
| [23:15] <cjwatson> I think it is dangerous to take approaches that are known to fail | |
| [23:26] <hallyn> d'oh! for the life of me i can't figure out why sometimes bzr seems bound when it shouldn't be | |
