12 The started event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an
13 instance of a job has finished starting and is now running. The JOB
14 environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environ‐
15 ment variable contains the instance name which will be empty for sin‐
16 gle-instance jobs.
17
18 init(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks
19 started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
20 activity. It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by ser‐
21 vices declaring a dependency.
22
23 Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment
24 variables from their own environment into the started event. See
25 init(5) for more details.
