"reset" has nothing to do with services, upstart, or systemd. It resets the terminal settings and contents and clears it, see manpage.
If you mean "restart", then yes, this is an upstart specific command. Please use "service" as an init neutral way to control services. ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => upstart (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592251 Title: restart: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The 'reset <service>' command does not work on default 16.04 installation.
