Just had a task to get our daemon here up and running like the others

CentOS6 and Newer Ubuntu have it by default. I had been tripping over
the init scripts complaining about me accessing them directly.

First impressions are just "WOW!!!!!!!11!"

That was so easy to set up from scratch.

I suggest any sysadmin who has hacked a script together to start a
service should look into the upstart configs. Your life just became a
lot more flexible, powerful, and simpler.

What, did they get rid of the SysV startup method? Ack!!! In the past, I'd usually copy the lpd (or something similarly easy) to create my start/stop scripts.

        How does this work compared to the old way?

(I'm upset that the syntax and methods for mdadm have changed, which confounds a bunch of solid EC2/EBS wizardry. I don't understand whose idea it was to require a hostname in the setup/config for a RAID volume...)
