I don't "like" upstart, but my "SV"-line from SysV-inittab looks like the
colons turned easily to newlines. ;-)

SysV:
# grep SV /etc/inittab 
SV:2345:respawn:/command/svscanboot3

upstart:
# cat /etc/init/daemontools.conf
description     "DJB daemontools"
start on filesystem
stop on runlevel [06]
respawn
exec /command/svscanboot3

It's not *very* complicated but it's surely not KISS (always remember the
words of Doug McIlroy).
If you stay on the surface of the config of init-Software you can put some
init-Packages and not just one or two as Topics into LPI exams.

BTW - there are some ways to use svscan/svscanboot as init replacement.
:-)
