Public bug reported: Installing systemd-sysv replaces upstart's "reboot", "poweroff" and friends. systemd's binaries currently don't know how to talk to upstart to "forward" the request to upstart. This breaks a transition to systemd as default init which doesn't just change the boot= kernel parameter but installs systemd-sysv.
The same problem happens when systemd-sysv is installed but the system gets booted with init=/sbin/upstart. It would be useful if one could do "initctl reboot", so that there's always a way to reboot the system when using a different init= than /sbin/init. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Tags: systemd-boot ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: systemd-boot ** Description changed: Installing systemd-sysv replaces upstart's "reboot", "poweroff" and friends. systemd's binaries currently don't know how to talk to upstart to "forward" the request to upstart.
