NAME

6       started - event signalling that a job is running
7

SYNOPSIS

9       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...
10

DESCRIPTION

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.
