How to start a process in background every time I do vagrant up

[Martin Rubi]

Hi there,

I'm trying to start a process in the VM every time I do 'vagrant up' on an Ubuntu 14.x VM.

I have the following:

Vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

   # ...

   config.vm.provision "up", type: "shell", run: "always", path: 'provision_up.sh'

end

provision_up.sh :

cd /home/vagrant/src/la-poderosa/grunt

nohup grunt > /dev/null 2>&1 &

It does work if I do 'vagrant ssh' and call provision_up.sh by hand, but it does not when I do 'vagrant halt' and then 'vagrant up'.

Could it be related to vagrant up using root instead of vagrant user? I so, how can I solve it?

I'm not a linux expert so any pointers will be very appreciated.

Thanks !

Martin

hello

I suggest the following change:


config.vm.provision "up", type: "shell", run: "always", inline: 'bash
/vagrant/provision_up.sh &'

I use that and works fine for me.

Hi Alvaro,

thanks for your answer!

It didn't work. Could it be related with not having a terminal allocated, o using the root user? Any ideas if there is any log I can read to get more info?

Thanks!

Hello martin

I may be due the script?

I think the nohup is failing

I thik this: nohup grunt > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Should be:

nohup ./grunt > /dev/null 2>&1 &

So my complete suggestion will be:

pushd cd /home/vagrant/src/la-poderosa/grunt ; nohup ./grunt > /dev/null 2>&1 &

hope this helps.

Alvaro.
