I have simple upstart job test.conf:

root@ubuntutest:~# cat /etc/init/test.conf 

expect fork

script

/root/test.py

end script

and simple python script /root/test.py:

root@ubuntutest:~# cat /root/test.py 

#!/usr/bin/python

import time



print("Hello, World")

time.sleep(30)

print("Goodbye")

I start test job, ensure that upstart tracks proper PID, wait script's termination, but than upstart doesn't stop tracking non-existing PID. So i'm not able top stop this job:

root@ubuntutest:~# initctl status test

test stop/waiting

root@ubuntutest:~# initctl start test

test start/running, process 1859

root@ubuntutest:~# ps aux | grep 1859

root      1859  0.2  0.7  29832  7188 ?        S    14:43   0:00 /usr/bin/python /root/test.py

root      1862  0.0  0.2  11760  2156 pts/0    S+   14:43   0:00 grep --color=auto 1859

root@ubuntutest:~# ps aux | grep 1859

root      1864  0.0  0.2  11760  2224 pts/0    S+   14:43   0:00 grep --color=auto 1859

root@ubuntutest:~# initctl status test

test start/running, process 1859

If i delete expect fork from test job then everything works good (except upstart tracks sh instead of python) - i want to understand what's wrong with my code?

The same happens if i use bash script instead of python:

#!/bin/bash



sleep 30

Upstart shows that test job is always running (even when the script ends)
