A basic Upstart Events GUI (and cli!:-) tool

It didn't quite make it into the release, but we now have a very basic Upstart GUI that should appear in Ubuntu along with the Upstart 1.7 release soon.

What is it?

upstart-monitor is a simple application that shows Upstart events as they are emitted. It can be used to view both system-level events and also session-level events when Upstart is running as a Session Init.

It requires Upstart 1.7.

What can I use it for?

The tool allows you to see events as they occur which is an aid to understanding. It also helps with writing new jobs since, if you are not sure which event to use, provoke the scenario you want, then just copy the appropriate event that appears in upstart-monitor to your .conf file (more details on this in a future post...).

How do I use it?

Just start it to see events being emitted:




If you'd prefer a command-line version, run it with the '-n' option:



Where can I get it?

If you can't wait for it to land in Ubuntu, you can grab it from here:

Byobu Bling with Unicode Custom Indicators

Image
Introduction In these heady times of almost daily advances in UI pizzazz, you could be forgiven for thinking the terminal is somewhat of a dead-zone when it comes to excitement. Oh how wrong you would be though...! If you've never used  Byobu ,  Dustin's  awesome text-based window manage, sudo apt-get install it without delay to be bathed in pure terminal goodness. As shown below, byobu comes with a whole host of standard indicators, allowing the display of useful snippets of information. The indicators are minimal out of terminal-width real estate necessity, but that's also their strength - they provide just the details you really care about in a tight ASCII format. And they're cute of course :-) However, byobu has a well-kept secret: when running with the tmux backend, it supports Unicode indicators. So with the proviso that you are running " byobu-tmux " rather than " byobu-screen ", you can squeeze down those indicators even further

Procenv 0.46 - now with more platform goodness

I have just released procenv version 0.46 . Although this is a very minor release for the existing platforms (essentially 1 bug fix), this release now introduces support for a new platform... Darwin Yup - OS X now joins the ranks of supported platforms. Although adding support for Darwin was made significantly easier as a result of the recent internal restructure of the procenv code, it did present a challenge: I don't own any Apple hardware. I could have borrowed a Macbook, but instead I decided to see this as a challenge: Could I port procenv to Darwin without actually having a local Apple system?  Well, you've just read the answer, but how did I do this? Stage 1: Docker Whilst surfing around I came across this interesting docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/andrewd/osxcross/ It provides a Darwin toolchain that I could run under Linux. It didn't take very long to follow my own instructions on porting procenv to a new platform . But although I

Upstart User Sessions in Ubuntu Raring

Image
Overview Ubuntu Raring now includes Upstart 1.8 . Upstart 1.7 and 1.8 combined mark a major milestone since they bring the proven power of Upstart to the user as never before: not only is Upstart now managing the system, but it is also capable of managing the default Ubuntu user's desktop sessions too. Why? Question:  Why reuse a system facility at the user level in this way? The modern Linux desktop environment is a very dynamic one: users start and stop applications, switch workspaces, search the dash, adjust personal settings in the panel, connect to different networks, hot-plug USB devices and so on. All of these activities can be represented by "events". Stepping back a second, recall that Upstart was written  from the outset  to take advantage of  the dynamic nature of a modern Linux system . Long gone are the days when a system booted serially. A modern Linux system abounds with "events" from all sorts of different sources: The user plugs or
