Upstart-ed

[Andy Green]

Hi folks -

I saw via reddit Upstart the event-driven initscripts replacement that 
got mentioned a couple of weeks ago has a new page and some code seems 
to exist:

''What state is it in now?

The init daemon has been written and is able to manage jobs as described 
above, receiving events on the control socket to start and stop them. 
This has now been uploaded to the Ubuntu universe component in the 
upstart package for testing before it becomes the init daemon.

We welcome any experienced users who want to help test this; install the 
package and follow the instructions in 
/usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian to add a boot option that will use 
upstart instead of init. If your system boots and shut downs normally 
(other than a slightly more verbose boot without usplash running) then 
it is working correctly.

Other types of events will be added as required during development and 
testing. Currently only a basic client tool (initctl) has been written, 
compatibility tools such as shutdown will be written over the next week 
or two before it replaces our sysvinit package.''

(This page was currently updated yesterday)
