As upstart is included in the Edgy release of Ubuntu, they have to have tasks and services to be used with upstart already. I haven't looked at such tasks, but if I understood the description correctly, they wouldn't be that hard to write and my guess is that there isn't that many ways to write a task for, say, network. -- /Jonas Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
