I am realizing I don't understand at all how upstart "knows" what to start and how and when, so I have started by reading http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/ and while most of the links at the end are broken, the last link (not broken) is the most useful -- http://www.netsplit.com/2006/12/14/upstart-0-3/
I also just noticed the doc in /usr/share/doc/upstart -- yay! this is very clear and is the place I should have started reading. If you haven't already, maybe it would be worthwhile pointing to the upstart doc from the man pages for init and from the README in /etc/init.d/ (at least in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10, the text of that README does not mention upstart concepts at all). If I should file upstart or documentation bugs with those suggestions please let me know. -- netatalk silently fails to start at boot, manual start OK https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
