[10:46] is it possible to "interrupt" upstart's init sequence in such a way that you get to choose whether to start or skip starting each service? if you're familiar with Gentoo's init, what I'm after is what happens when you press i during init. [10:47] How would that be useful? [10:48] for debugging [10:49] it has been invaluable for me while creating various gentoo-based mini-distros [10:50] I guess that means this is not possible in upstart? [18:18] A2C2A: and you can't sit baselayout atop upstart why? it's not a feature of sysvinit either. [18:26] sysvinit is told basily to just call rc on runlevel changes, I had an upstart job that did the same thing until I switched my box back to sysv, and I don't remember what I did w/ the ebuild for upstart. 'man inittab' and 'nano /etc/inittab' are probably your friends. substitute the editor/pager? of your choice for nano. [21:10] A2C2A: Keybuk expressed interest in such an "interactive" mode [21:11] but upstart currently doesn't have support for that natively
