Description of problem: At least, not as it's described in the man pages. Nothing is ever logged. May be a configuration issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): upstart-0.3.9-2.fc9
The majority of our jobs seem to specify 'console output' rather than 'console logged' in their definition. Could this explain what you're seeing?
logd is currently disabled in the code. I discovered that when the standard output of a shell raises EPIPE on write, the shell doesn't handle it at all and terminates -- apparently with a 0 exit status (though this may have been an Upstart bug fixed in trunk that didn't report death by signal if it caused a core dump). This means that if logd is shut down, all jobs with "console logged" simply stopped. The usual reason logd stopped was because it was killed during shutdown, and at that point, the shutdown process stalled too. Clearly it needs more thought :-)
If it's disabled, perhaps we shouldn't build it.
That's an option. I may have a solution to this, I'm going to dig into the code and see.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
changing version back to rawhide and adding FutureFeature
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
