Trunk now has better handling of failures in the child process whilst still inside Upstart's own code, specifically it can catch an exec() failure and obtain the error number. In practice, there's little we can realisitically do; but we do at least log the problem ("No such file or directory") and

Depends on having feedback of whether exec(), etc. failed; once we have that, if exec() of /bin/sh fails, we can execute some appropriate fallback. I'm going to suggest something like /sbin/sulogin --missing-shell as a standard "OMG! THE SKY IS FALLING!" escape route. Of course, if your sulogin i

Rejecting the Ubuntu portion of this bug, since the dependency on a working /bin/sh is internal to the upstart code and not a by-product of the Ubuntu rules. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Rejected -- upstart utterly fails when /bin/sh symlink disappears https://bugs

I am being hit hard by this. After playing around with gconf, I cannot boot anymore. The initial output showed that /bin/sh cannot be executed. I booted with a Live CD and corrected the symlink for /bin/sh, which linked to dash. After linking it to bash, I still have the following output: /etc/rcS

2006-10-10 Thread Scott James Remnant
The principal problem here is that /bin/sh is hardcoded as something to use in job_run_* -- we should check for exec failing and have some kind of fallback. Perhaps just exec'ing /sbin/sulogin directly is appropriate? ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected ** Also
