Usage

Overview

upstart-monitor displays Upstart system events or Upstart session events using either a command-line or graphical interface.

Options

-d destination , --destination=destination

Specify the endpoint to connect to. Valid destinations are session-socket, session-bus, system-socket and system-bus.

--help

Show brief usage summary.

-n , --no-gui

Run in command-line mode.

-s , --separator

Specify alternate field separator to use for command-line output (default is a single tab character).

Notes

•

By default, upstart-monitor will attempt to start in a graphical mode unless --no-gui is specified. However, if it is unable to display a graphical interface, it will display a warning message and automatically revert to the command-line interface.

•

When no command-line option (that affects the destination) is specified, upstart-monitor will attempt to connect to the Session Init (destination session-socket) and display session events. In this mode, it will display both session events and system events, assuming the upstart-event-bridge(8) is running.

If invoked with no arguments from within a non-Upstart session environment it will attempt to connect to Upstart running as process ID 1 (destination system-bus) and will only display system events.
