1 year ago - As far as s6-rc (and any project that isn't s6-overlay) is concerned, I only use GitHub as a backup location for source code, not as a place to discuss issues, because I have no control over the archives, cannot grep in them, cannot guarantee their long time availability, etc. For discussions about s6-rc, please use the supervision mailing-list instead.
- That said, indeed your understanding is correct and there shouldn't be a timeout here. My guess is that you are in fact using s6-overlay and are experiencing the default timeout. From the v3 notes:
There is a global timeout for all the services, adjustable via the S6_CMD_WAIT_FOR_SERVICES_MAXTIME variable. You can disable it via setting this variable to 0.

I'm trying to add a oneshot service as a dependency to an existing s6-rc longrun service. The oneshot script takes up to a few minutes to run to prepare some data, but I get a failure due to a timeout about halfway through and the longrun service never starts. My understanding from the documentation was the oneshot should never timeout unless an explicit timeout-up file was given. I had tried adding a 10-minute timeout-up file, but I still get a timeout in less than a minute.
What would be causing this timeout? Is there a time limit to oneshot tasks?
