Topic

An updated upstart package that fixes two bug and adds two enhancements is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The upstart package contains an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init
daemon that starts tasks and services during boot, stops them during shut down,
and supervises them while the system is running.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Previously, the PACKAGE_BUGREPORT variable pointed to a Ubuntu mailing list.

The mailing list was therefore presented in multiple manual pages, which was
unwanted. With this update, the value of the PACKAGE_BUGREPORT variable has been
modified to "https://launchpad.net/upstart/+bugs", and users are now directed to
that website rather than to the Ubuntu mailing list. (BZ#771736)

  • Previous versions of upstart did not mount the proc and sys file systems. This

was ensured by initscripts, which could, under certain circumstances, lead to
race condition problems. With this update, upstart is used to mount the proc and
sys file systems before launching anything else. (BZ#798551)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

  • Files with the ".conf" suffix located in the /etc/init/ directory are not

considered as configuration files. As a consequence, such files are not
protected during a package update and can be overwritten by new files. This
update adds support for "override" files that contain user-specified settings.
Now, it is possible to alter parameters provided by the aforementioned ".conf"
files by creating a corresponding file with the ".override" suffix. (BZ#663594)

  • Previously, the initctl scripts returned error messages that did not tell

users how to run the particular command correctly to get the required output.
This update adds a new stanza, "usage", that can be used to provide users with
detailed information on how to run the particular command correctly if the input
has been incorrect. (BZ#735427)

All users of upstart are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs and adds these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
