[Wrapper-user] Ubuntu Upstart default script launches wrapper with "launchdinternal" option?

[Holger D. <hol...@um...>]

Good morning, 

I am experimenting with the community edition of the wrapper to launch the Grouper Loader as a system service. 

After installing and launching the script as upstart service on Ubuntu with the default upstart settings for wrapper, I checked the running processes and was surprised that all wrapper processes run as root. 

Digging a little deeper I figured out that the wrapper is started with the "launchdinternal" option. In the wrapper shell script "launchdinternal" does not call the checkUser function. Also, "launchd" is MacOS X specific. 

Why would the "install" option of the wrapper script detect Ubuntu correctly, but then install a default upstart script that's MacOS X specific? 
Does anyone have an Ubuntu specific upstart script for the wrapper? 

Thank you,
