finally taking the time to dig into upstart, and i'm confused by one
issue. on my ubuntu system, the documentation "man 7 startup" claims
that the primary task on startup is /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf, which
exists on my ubuntu system. but on SL 6, while the man page reads the
same, there is no such .conf file in /etc/init, so what is the boot
sequence?
i do see the file /etc/init/rc.conf so i'm sure i can work through
the sequence but since i want to explain this to some students next
week, i'd like to find the appropriate doc/man page that explains
*precisely* what happens. so what's the process when
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf doesn't exist? and what man page explains
that? thanks.

I haven't found precisely what you are looking for, but I have found the
correct man pages, or at least some more man pages.
Looking at the documentation here
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Technical_Notes/deployment.html
It says
"Processes are known to Upstart as jobs and are defined by files in the
/etc/init directory. Upstart is very well documented via man pages.
Command overview is in init(8) and job syntax is described in init(5). "
looking at
man 5 init
man 8 init
It describes Upstart.
As I said, it doesn't completely answer your question, but hopefully it
points you in the right direction.
