Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

First, upstart shows non-understandable cryptic messages like:

r...@slim:/home/midenok# start timidity
timidity start/running, process 3746

So it was started or running?

r...@slim:/home/midenok# start timidity
start: Job is already running: timidity

Aha, now it is running, so first time it was started.

r...@slim:/home/midenok# stop timidity
timidity stop/waiting

So is it stopped or what? What is 'waiting' for?

r...@slim:/home/midenok# stop timidity
stop: Unknown instance:

Guess what this means -- the service already stopped.

Second, it is highly non-verbosive.

When starting from terminal, you don't see any job messages. They are gone, in 
better case showing to 'console output',
There is no command-line option like 'start --verbose' to show job output 
STDOUT and STDERR to terminal (not to console).

Third, there is no short options. Which is weird for core system
utility.
