why can't upstart run 'source bin/activate'?
So I've worked it out, for some reason upstart doesn't like using 'source' so I changed the line from:
source bin/activateto
. bin/activateand that works, don't know why though, so would be interested if someone could explain this
source is a bash built-in command but only a posix "special" command.
Upstart runs sh -e when executing the script sections.
sh shell doesn't understand source, only .
