running with upstart job

[pablo]

Hi,

I'm trying to start a mochiweb app(called myweb) on ubuntu with an
upstart job.
I've created a myweb.conf file under /etc/init with the following:

start on filesystem and net-device-up
stop on runlevel [06]

script
MYWEBPATH=/home/user/myweb
exec erl -noinput -pa $MYWEBPATH/ebin $MYWEBPATH/deps/*/ebin -boot
start_sasl -s myweb
end script

When I'm trying to start the job and check its status I'm getting:
$sudo start myweb
myweb start/running, process 6682
$sudo status myweb
myweb stop/waiting

So my mochiweb app doesn't run.
When I'm using the start.sh script generated with the skeleton my app
run fine.

Am I missing a flag in the erl command or is it something else?

Thanks

you probably should add a -detached flag in there.

I'm not familiar with upstart but the software we use (daemontools)
works best when the process stays attached. It basically acts like
heartbeat but also deals with the stdout/stderr logging.
