Omon,
1. F10 comes with Upstart 0.3.9. Not sure when they'll be able to
upgrade to 0.5.0
2. If you were using 0.5.0, you'd do something like the following:
# Start me when rc[2-5] startup.
start on started rc2 rc3 rc4 rc5
# Bring me back to life if I die!
respawn
# Let me rest in peace if I die
respawn limit 2 10
exec /etc/spyforce/cyclone
Some documentation to peruse (again, for 0.5.0 -- not 0.3.9):
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas . Make sure to hit the kill and
normal exit stanzas as well.
