i trying export upstart scripts rails application using foreman don't want use sudo that. saw ubuntu 12.04 using supports userjob http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#user-job have enabled that. enabled test script have placed @ ~/.init tried bundle exec foreman export upstart ~/.init -a myapp -l log -u myuser , exported foreman tasks ~/.init. when run start myapp works thin instances doesn't start , can't figure out why. maybe has using rvm user install. there way debug this? thanks.
you can set
console log
in upstart script, , output should shown in log-fie.
according recen upstart cookbook, session job output appear in $xdg_cache_home/upstart/<jobname>, (which should fall $home/.cache).
alternatively, can tell log elsewhere, --logdir option upstart command.
since question few months old, may aware using $home/.init "user" jobs deprecated in favour of $xdg_config_home/upstart (or $home/.config/upstart/). looks latest foreman doesn't give nice defaults that, though it's still possible.
as reason script won't start, things consider are
- are running right user?
setuid <user> - does user have access
bundlein environment?
i'm not sure rvm, i've had success chruby. here's example (which logs):
description "a rails application" author "me (me@example.com)" start on runlevel [2345] stop on runlevel [016] respawn setuid appuser setgid appuser console output chdir /var/www/app/current exec chruby-exec 2.0 -- bundle exec unicorn_rails -e production -p 5000
