Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit
This thread is a spawn from another one dealing with a power management/wireless network issue. The other issue is at least worked around but I have come across this more generic issue. I created a simple job which I want to start with upstart. However, I have been unable to get it to run. Here is my latest upstart file /etc/init/wifi_power_off.conf
Code:
# shut off power management on the wireless connection
# note that the thing is called eth1 not wlan0 as would be expected
start on started network-services
exec /sbin/iwconfig eth1 power off
exec touch /home/ken/hello_from_upstart
Please disregard if the iwconfig command works or not. That is another matter of conjecture. I added the
touch command so I would see that the job is executing. I do not see the file being created and thus I conclude that the job did not run. Networking is in fact running and I can connect to the PC in question. I have also tried
Code:
start on RUNLEVEL=[2]
but that does not seem to work either.
The conf file is owned by root and is not marked executable - same as other jobs in /etc/init. I would like to get a handle on setting up an upstart job. I will sort out the wireless issue later. Can anyone provide some insight? I have been studying the Upstart Cookbook and it looks like my simple example should run.
TIA,
Ken
