It seems upstart is capable of tracking the service's PID without referring to a pid file [10:27] (This is for ubuntu natty) [11:15] I don't believe there's been a pid stanza since.. err... a very long time ago. [11:16] Because, as you suggest, upstart keeps track of the service's pid on its own. [23:11] is there any way you can control who can start/stop services through upstart?
