I wish....

jer...@hostedapps:~$ ls /etc/event.d/
control-alt-delete  rc4                 tty1
last-good-boot      rc5                 tty2

jer...@hostedapps:~$ sudo service stop gdm
stop: unrecognized service

jer...@hostedapps:~$ sudo service gdm stop
stop: Unknown instance:

This is slightly less than intuitive. Seriously, they can't be making me 
hack config files to stop boot services? This would be a step back, no?

Apparently, stuff is now in /etc/init/, and init.d is deprecated, and 
symlinks to upstart?

 > ls -la /etc/init.d/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    21 2009-11-05 13:12 udev -> 
/lib/init/upstart-job
