Dear Jim, I think John pointed you to that page, here: > > http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ is the main page and most of the details can > > be found on the wiki - http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/ > > While the "init" process still exists, it is part of the Upstart system. In essence, the files "referenced" by init are in the /etc/event.d/ directory. Most of these are scripts - groups of commands executed under conditions implied in each file - or by the name of the file, such as control-alt-delete. Under the Upstart system, configuring "init" means configuring these files.
