<div dir="ltr">Okay, I realize now that my previous question wasn't totally clear about what I was doing. My guess is that the situations before that you sent are only variables sent to the job itself?<br><br>What I'm trying to do is write an upstart job that notices when other upstart jobs start, and then sends an event to my eventing system letting me know it happened. The thing is that I don't want to get an event when:<div>
<br></div><div>- The daemon was stopped on purpose</div><div>- The daemon stopped because the system is shutting down</div><div><br></div><div>Right now my upstart job looks like this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>start on stopping JOB!=daemon_stopped</div>
<div>task</div><div>script</div><div> echo "[`date`] Received stopping event for JOB: ${JOB}, INSTANCE: ${INSTANCE}"</div><div> exec /usr/bin/emit_event DaemonStoppedEvent daemon_name=$JOB</div><div>end script<br>
<br>Currently to handle the system shutdown case I tried to call the runlevel command, but it seemed to have issues finding utmp at some point in the shutdown. Instead my latest idea is to have another upstart job that starts on 'runlevel [0123456]' and touches a file whenever the current run level is 0 or 6 (basically when it's shutting down). Then in the daemon stop monitor I'd have it check for the existence of that file before sending off an event.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>As far as the purposefully stopping daemon, I'm really not sure how I can make that happen.</div><div><br>Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions that'd be awesome. Thanks!</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">
