Yes, I know that.  Let me try again.  I am receiving the email quoted
above.  What I really want to know is what is triggering the condition
that causes this email to be sent.  I only mentioned upstart because
the code in systemd that generates the error message does so when it
tries to forward a request on to upstart, but fails to exec
/lib/upstart/telinit.  Upstart is not otherwise germane to the issue.
