does 'stop/waiting' mean it's not yet started, that it's stuck waiting TO stop, or that it has stopped?
<jodh> tmike: that's the "rest" state - it has either never started, or has now stopped. See http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#initctl-status
<tmike> Okay, that's good then
<jodh> tmike: Try booting with --debug/--verbose to see what events are being emitted and which jobs are starting, etc: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#add-verbose-or-debug-to-the-kernel-command-line
<tmike> Seems everything is groovy there
<jdiggy> Hi! I'd like to check for the existence of Upstart in a script. The best idea that I've had so far has been to check the output of `init --version`.
<jdiggy> any way to reimport my configuration without restarting? like if I screw it up and just want to reload it.
<jdiggy> My bad. wrong channel.
<jdiggy> Here, I want to ask if anybody knows how to check whether Upstart is installed in, say, a Bash script? My current best idea is `init --version`.
<ion> Some implementations of init might do something unexpected with --version, though.

<jdiggy> Upstart's configuration directory is called /etc/init. The bins are called init, start, stop, restart.

<royal121> Hello Everyone! Where can I read about migrating to upstart from other init systems?
<stgraber> xnox, jodh: I may be a couple of minutes late for the meeting
<xnox> jodh: the fix is to write cookbook answer "if you need to depend on the sysv init starting, just add emit that event in the init script"
<xnox> stgraber: ^
<xnox> =))))
<xnox> jodh: stgraber: i can hear you.

<emacsen> I have a (hopefully) simple question. I want to write a daemon that detects when the network is active and only attempts to operate then. Is upstart the way to do that, and if so, what should I be looking for?
<stgraber> we don't have any internet-is-ready even at th
