I agree with Steve here: Upstart is careful to set CLOEXEC on all the fds it has control over, so I would much prefer this be fixed at source.
A temporary work-around for jobs that are affected by this issue is to add the following code at the top of all appropriate script sections - remember that all script and exec sections run as different processes so if you have a pre-start and a script section, the code below should be added to the top of *both* those sections: script # close unexpectedly open fds # The 'readlink' ensures we don't try to close the fd we're using to read the /proc/self/fd directory. for fd in /proc/self/fd/* do fd=$(basename $fd) case "$fd" in 0|1|2) ;; *) readlink $fd && eval "exec $fd>&-" || :;; esac done # << do something useful here >> end script -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931584 Title: Upstart should close all non-standard fds before starting a job To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/931584/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
