Using hypnotoad with upstart

[Konstantin Cherkasoff]

Hi All!

Can I get hypnotoad to NOT become a daemon and stay connected with parent process?
It is useful when running under superdaemon control like upstart.

-f, --foreground Keep manager process in foreground.

Can someone provide a sample upstart conf file for starting/stopping/restarting hypnotoad?

This isn't doing it.  (I tried with and without -f)

description     "mojo upstart job"

start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [!2345]

pre-start exec hypnotoad /data/web/mojo/router -f

pre-stop exec hypnotoad /data/web/mojo/router -f

post-stop exec hypnotoad /data/web/mojo/router -s

Super delayed response here but you need to add the "-f" after hypnotoad not after your script.

hypnotoad -f  /data/web/mojo/router

If you run hypnotoad in the foreground, you can't do hot reload. I would say you're better off with prefork unless you need hot reload:

   $ yourapp.pl prefork -h

If you know of an "init script to upstart adapter", you could use Toadfarm https://metacpan.org/pod/Toadfarm#SYNOPSIS which provide the same interface as a init script.
