Package: upstart Version: upstart/1.10-2 Severity: minor I assume that this is the only documentation for socket activation; at least, I've not been able to find any other documentation for how this works.
Several questions are left unanswered for me after reading this man page. First, what are the valid values of PROTO in the start on socket directive? There are examples for "inet" and "unix", but no list of valid values. socket(2) documents quite a few protocols, and I suspect they're not *all* supported, but I can't tell which ones are. Second, is there some way to use socket activation for UDP services? The service I'm currently using to experiment with systemd and upstart is UDP-based. systemd has a separate directive for SOCK_DGRAM sockets, but there's no mention of socket types in socket-event(7). The web examples I've seen seem to indicate the default is SOCK_STREAM (hence TCP). Third, what does "inet" mean here? Does that mean AF_INET (hence no IPv6)? Does it mean AF_INET6 with the system default bindv6-only behavior? Is there any way to control the bindv6-only behavior? If I've missed some other key source of documentation, please let me know. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages upstart depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-43 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.18-2 pn libnih-dbus1 <none> pn libnih1 <none> ii libselinux1 2.2.1-1 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-43 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-43 upstart recommends no packages. upstart suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
