Passing arguments to a script started through Ubuntu Upstart

If you’re trying to use the –exec option and need to pass in arguments, then you would need to use — to let –exec know that these are arguments to the script that needs to be executed.

# No arguments passed to test.py
exec start-stop-daemon –start –exec python test.py

# Arguments (-i $PARAM) passed to test.py
exec start-stop-daemon –start –exec python test.py — -i $PARAM
