Screen and dtach sessions show as main in process manager

If you'd actually tried my suggestion, you would have noticed that it was the right way to go It doesn't matter to upstart if something daemonizes or not, as long as you configure your upstart script correctly.

Proof of concept

Code:

cat <<\EOF > /root/test.sh
#!/bin/bash

while [ 1 ]; do
        sleep 1;
done;
EOF
chmod +x test.sh
cat <<\EOF > /etc/init/test.conf
#!upstart

description "start test"

start on started mountall and net-device-up
stop on runlevel [016]

exec /root/test.sh
EOF
initctl reload-configuration

Just copy and paste everything between the code tags at once in your terminal. Then try:

Code:

service test start
service test stop

However, if you do this in your upstart script

Code:

exec /root/test.sh &

You also need to add:

Code:

expect fork
