[Bug 1381075] Re: [ubuntu-touch] upstart should report applications that hit respawn limit to errors.ubuntu.com

 

The most appropriate way to do this would probably be to use apport to
check for respawn limit messages in:

- the system log, and
- the users $HOME/.xsession-errors file.

Even at the default upstart log priority of 'message', when a job
reaches the respawn limit, upstart will log a message to one of the logs
above like this:

    init: foo respawning too fast, stopped

So apport, or some such utility could watch for these messages using
inotify and raise an informational error that would be visible on
errors.u.c.

Bug description:
  We have important system and session services that we rely on being
  running and functional.

  If such a component hits the upstart respawn limit for any reason, we
  should be able to get a report that something is seriously wrong.
