upstart

Start on when?

Asked by Scott on 2009-09-19

I am trying to run orbited at startup, but it's not working. I'm assuming it's trying to start too soon. What would I use in place of start on startup? Once I start it manually, the respawn works as expected. My current script is:

start on startup
exec /usr/bin/orbited --config=/etc/orbited.cfg
respawn

I'm running 0.3.9 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Which event you use instead of startup depends entirely on what you're
starting.

For example, if you want it to run after the rc scripts for the usual
runlevels:

  start on stopped rc[2345]
