Yes, upstart is in RHEL 6, but most packages (maybe close to 95%) that provide an init script are still using a traditional shell script. Plus, RHEL 6's documentation barely mentions upstart. The traditional general commands or Red Hat specific commands are documented [1]. upstart is mentioned only on a few paragraphs in the Migration Guide [2]. The same situation of RHEL 6 applies to SLES. In the long run the only distribution using upstart will be Ubuntu, and only if Mark Shuttleworth doesn't change his mind and throw everything away for something "new and exciting".
