Comment 5 for bug 568288

This bug is affecting our application.

We configure upstart to respawn so that in production it will automatically restart the application if it crashes. We also use pre-stop to request over http to ask the process to exit. The pre-stop procedure allows the process to finish serving current clients requests, and other clean up duties before it exits. However the combination of these two options then cause the application to be restarted upon running "stop <service>". This seems like an unusual behavior to us.

So now we are faced with either abandoning upstart or put the respawn logic somewhere else.

thanks
