SysV init has been doing this type of thing for ages -- just in a more dumbed down form with runlevels. Upstart brings a number of improvements to the table, but AFAIK there hasn't been a push (nor should there be IMO) for upstart to do more than handle initial process(es) and job(s). I really don't see the added benefit in making Upstart into a system swiss army knife of sorts, because that just makes Upstart into a userlevel mini-kernel ;). -Garrett -- upstart-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/upstart-devel
