Trying to write an upstart script for a newrelic agent

[Mariano González]

Hi Steve and Clint. Thanks for your comments.

@Steve

You're totally right, it's not necessary to write sudo -u root as it's the
same as writing sudo. My fault there.
But, the command to run the agent is the following:

$ cd /path/newrelic_rs_dfw/
$ bundle exec ./bin/newrelic_rs

As bundle exec is a ruby gem located in /path/newrelic_rs_dfw/. So, to this
script to function it'd need to locate in /path/newrelic_rs_dfw/ first and
then run the bundle exec. Which it doesn't do if I write down those two
previous steps in a script. Neither it does if I specify an env variable or
source stanza. That's why I think this is an env issue.

@Clint

I'm trying to run this agent as an Upstart job, that's why I'm writing an
/etc/init/newrelic.conf script. Sorry if I missunderstood your comments if
it's not what you meant.

Finally, there's no trace of newrelic logs in /var/log/ besides /newrelic/
folder where OTHER newrelic agents does write their logs in this vm.

The only logs I have are the ones written in /messages.log

Thanks again!
