Hello Upstart Developers,
in the process of migrating Fedora/Red Hat Linux to upstart I came across
several issues.
With the current implementation I see the following problems:
- the job description files are very static. Dependencies can only be added,
modified, deleted by modifying this one job file (not package friendly)
- there is no dependency like "start me before service xyz"
- turning a job/service off requires removing the job file, which may be solved
by symlinks?
Maybe I am overlooking some recently introduced mechanism, but I am willing to
help to implement a solution for this, either in upstart directly or via an
external control app via D-Bus. The app would require adding/removing
dependencies via D-Bus.
What do you think?
-Harald
