<div dir="ltr">hi there, first, kudos to Scott. You guy rock with this revolutionizing (and so logic) idea ;-) next, a personal point of view about the lack of upstream adoption of upstart: I wanted to provide an upstart script for NUT for some time, but never found enough matching example to do so. the embedded scripts only address inittab, and the replacement-initscripts are unreachable (see below) and far too basic for being really helpful! if you want a massive adoption, provide some "real world" examples for upstreams, really ;-) so, a mutual help in getting the NUT init script ported would both help you and me. good deal ;-) btwn I've included the upstart "support" in NUT 2.4 roadmap. I've attached the original Debian NUT script, along with a lazy and drafty port attempt. note that I'm currently giving some reflexion cycles on optimizing NUT integration wrt init (ex: no need to clean stop daemons upon standard shutdown). feedback, comment and help welcome... I can also give some more details of the problematic. another point (possibly already addressed): you should also take a look at the HAL replacement (DeviceKit) since it should (must?) somehow impact upstart (at least through signaling), or improve it?! I will soon post on the new dk mailing a proposition for the power management. if you also have some feedback there... last note, there is a broken link on <a href="http://upstart.ubuntu.com/faq.html#example-jobs-what">http://upstart.ubuntu.com/faq.html#example-jobs-what</a> should point? <a href="https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~scott/upstart/replacement-initscripts">https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~scott/upstart/replacement-initscripts</a> cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - MGE Office Protection Systems - <a href="http://www.mgeops.com">http://www.mgeops.com</a> Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - <a href="http://www.networkupstools.org/">http://www.networkupstools.org/</a> Debian Developer - <a href="http://people.debian.org/~aquette/">http://people.debian.org/~aquette/</a> Free Software Developer - <a href="http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/">http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/</a> </div>
