I would like to run a script between two hours using upstart:




  • start at: 9h00

  • stop at: 23h30


This is my upstart:



author "bakka"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

script
H_BEGIN="905"
H_END="2330"
H_NOW=$(date +%k%M)

if [[ ${H_NOW} -gt ${H_BEGIN} && ${H_NOW} -lt ${H_END} ]]; then
exec my_python_script
fi
end script


but it doesn't seems to take the condition, even if i remove the "start on runlevel [2345]"



i've already take a look here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/faq.html#replace-cron




You'd be able to have a service only running between particular times,
or on particular days, etc.
Blockquote




But it's not made very clear.



If somebody knows how to specify a between time to launch something by using upstart, it would be nice.

          This was never implemented as a part of upstart. I would suggest using the very simple tool snooze in conjunction with upstart. This is how I run my cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} scripts on void linux.



          For your particular case, starting the job at 9:00 and stopping it at 23:30, you would use three jobs like this:



          description "start my service if it is after 9:00 but before 23:30"
          emits start-myservice

          start on runlevel [2345]
          stop on runlevel [!2345]

          respawn
          exec snooze -H9 -s870 -- initctl emit start-myservice


          description "stop my service if it is after 23:30 but before 9:00"
          emits stop-myservice

          start on runlevel [2345]
          stop on runlevel [!2345]

          respawn
          exec snooze -H23 -M30 -s570 -- initctl emit stop-myservice


          description "my service"

          start on start-myservice
          stop on stop-myservice

          respawn
          exec my_python_script
