Before using my suggestion below, please consider first that I am a "dummy
programmer" and then, that I am using Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS 64 bits. If you
are using another distro or version, you may need to adapt the upstart script.
Also, I am not sure if this is the right way of doing it, but it worked for
me... Finally, I did not convert some of the start-up scripts. Now, the problem
I see is that this addresses "my problem" (Kamailio+MySQL on Ubuntu running
Upstart). However, it would be nice to have a more complete script. I.e.: If
you are not running MySQL, then you have to change the upstart script to match
your SQL engine. The old init script had a "Should-Start" statement so you
could get anything to start before Kamailio (postgresql mysql radius, etc.)
without being a "must" like in upstart. But I could not find the equivalent
command for this in Upstart docs... So I let here the challenge for the
community to improve what I could accomplish so far. The first thing you need
to do is to remove (or not install) the /etc/init.d/kamailio init script. Then
you need to create a symlink to the kamailio upstart conf file that should be
at /ect/init/. To do so: # First save you original init script if you have one
mv /etc/init.d/kamailio ~ # Create symlink to upstart .conf file
ln -s /etc/init/kamailio.conf /etc/init.d/kamailio Then create a
/etc/init/kamailio.conf (notice it is /etc/init/ not /etc/init.d/) with the
following content: # Kamailio Service description "Kamailio server"
author "Moacir Ferreira" # Change anything here
# to match your environment
env NAME=kamailio
env DAEMON=/sbin/kamailio
env CFGFILE=/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
env USER=kamailio
env GROUP=kamailio start on runlevel [2345]
stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] # This is required to start Kamailio
# after MySQL
start on started mysql # This is required when the daemon
# forks 2 times
expect daemon # Include this to see the nice
# kamailo init messages at the console
console output pre-start script # Do not start kamailio if fork=no is set in
the config file
if grep -q "^[[:space:]]*fork[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*no.*" $CFGFILE; then
echo "$NAME ERROR: Kamilio not set to fork. Review your config or start it in
debug mode."; exit 1;
fi # Check if kamailio configuration is valid before starting the server.
out=$($DAEMON -c 2>&1 > /dev/null)
retcode=$?
set -e
if [ "$retcode" != '0' ]; then echo "$NAME ERROR: Config file invalid."
exit 1;
fi end script exec $DAEMON -f $CFGFILE -u $USER -g $GROUP # This is the end of
the script Good luck and Cheers! Moacir

I wish it were that simple... I have done some "reading" and
found that Ubuntu has changed to upstart
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/.
However, I could not find how I can start a non "upstart" style
init script like Kamailio has before the upstart styled ones...
I guess that I have to either to get the Kamailio community
to create an upstart script or find some help from the Ubuntu
community how to overcome the problem. Anyway, I think the
Kamailio team should address it as it will become a problem for
everyone using Kamailio on Ubuntu.
Any help?
the link to the upstart documentation you gave has quite big
content, couldn't you find a migration guide from classic init.d to
upstart somewhere out there on the web? Might be easier to do it
then.
Cheers,

This is more a system initialization problem, so, take a look in your
/etc/rc<run-level>.d directory (or the correspondent one), specially in
the S* files and find out the start sequence. There You'll find the answer.
