Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
In Maverick, the following command, run as a non-privileged user would
work:
$ initctl status <job>
However, under the version of Upstart in Natty, this will fail:
$ initctl status cron
initctl: Unknown job: cron
... Whilst running the same command as root will succeed:
# initctl status cron
cron start/running, process 858
This problem is confined to non-priv users, but is a regression. The
problem also affects the show-config and check-config commands. The
problem does not affect the list command, so a work-around is:
$ initctl list|grep "^<job>"
For example,
$ initctl list|grep "^cron"
cron start/running, process 858
