NAME

6       startup - event signalling system startup
7

SYNOPSIS

9       startup [ENV]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  startup  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon after it
13       has completed its own initialisation and is the signal that the rest of
14       the system may be started.
15
16       Typically  this  will  involve checking and mounting the partitions and
17       drives that form the filesystem, loading drivers for connected  devices
18       and starting the X windowing system or other login environment.
19
20       In  the  default  Upstart  configuration,  the  primary task run on the
21       startup event is the /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf job responsible for gen‐
22       erating the System V compatible runlevel(7) event.  See that page for a
23       more detailed explanation of this process.
24
25       Paradoxically there is currently no corresponding Upstart-native  event
26       signifying that the system is to be shutdown, only the System V compat‐
27       ible runlevel 0 and runlevel 6 events provide this functionality.

EXAMPLE

30       A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:
31
32              start on startup
