NAME

       upstart-socket-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and sockets

SYNOPSIS

       upstart-socket-bridge [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

       The upstart-socket-bridge queries the Upstart init(8) daemon for all job configurations which start on or stop on the socket event. It then
       waits for an incoming connection on each specified socket(7) and when detected emits the socket event (socket-event (7)), setting a  number
       of environment variables for the job to query.

NAME

       socket - event signalling that a socket connection has been made

SYNOPSIS

       socket PROTO=PROTO PORT=PORT ADDR=ADDR

       socket PROTO=PROTO PATH=PATH

DESCRIPTION

       The  socket event is generated by the upstart-socket-bridge(8) daemon when a socket connection is made whose details match the socket event
       condition and environment specified in a jobs start on or stop on stanza.

       When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the  job  in  question  to  allow  it	to
       accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environ-
       ment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket.

EXAMPLES

   Internet socket
       Start web server when first client connects from localhost:

	      start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=80 ADDR=127.0.0.1

   Local socket
	      start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=/var/run/.s.pgsql.1234

   Abstract socket
	      start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=@/at/upstart/example
