Code:
echo "manual" > /etc/init/JOB.override
doesn't work.
Code:
echo "manual" > /etc/event.d/JOB.override
doesn't work.
Code:
echo "manual" >> /etc/event.d/JOB
doesn't work.
Code:
update-rc.d JOB remove
doesn't work.

Any way to disable something without editing or removing files from another package?

Do I really have to replace start on with sed from postinst script?

Upstart scripts can be hard work, I am playing with one at the moment.

I am not certain what you are trying to do but...

All upstart scripts are run with "set -e" so if any line has an exit status != 0 the script will fail. Also everything is run as root unless you tell it.

I found testing scripts with "set -ex" helps to debug any weird issues.

In Maemo the upstart scripts are in /etc/event.d. Thus in theory writing "manual" to /etc/event.d/JOB.override should work, but it might be that Maemo's upstart doesn't work that way.

(If you do try this, please report if it worked!)

In one of my N900s I made a "disabled" directory under event.d, to which I moved services I wanted to disable. Today while I was investigating a different issue I realized that upstart is so "smart" that it also looks in subdirectories of event.d, so my "disabled" services where actually being handled.

The best and safest way is simply to get the file out of the way (where upstart won't find it..).

IIRC this .override thingie was introduced in upstart some time after maemo's version but I am not sure.

And it doesn't work.

I still want to control daemons, so I think removing "start on" is better.

What is /etc/event.replace.d ?
