This command:
mongod --fork --dbpath ../data --smallfiles --logpath ../data/mongo.log
runs perfectly from terminal, while in directory /mongo/bin/
But, when I use same command and directory for upstart session job file (at $HOME/.config/upstart
):
# mongod_service - mongoDB job file
description "MongoDB service"
author "admin"
# When to start the service
start on runlevel [2345]
# When to stop the service
stop on runlevel [016]
# Automatically restart process if crashed
# respawn
# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
expect fork
# working directory
chdir /mongo/bin/
# log this job
console log
# Start mongod as daemon
exec /mongo/bin/mongod --fork --dbpath /mongo/data --smallfiles --logpath /mongo/data/mongo.log
Update:
Changed job file and It starts fine now, but when I try to stop it with initctl stop mongod-service
, the command never completes !.
Can anyone suggest how to make this work ?
