[10:58] <dcorbin_work> JanC: What is an appropriate term to use?  Configuration?
[11:00] <dcorbin_work> JanC: I'm referring to the entire file of information.
[11:06] <dcorbin_work> started events seem a tad different than the general case.  I can "initctl emit foo", or "initctl emit foo A=B", but I don't seem to be able to admit "initctl emit foo started"
[11:08] <jhunt_> dcorbin_work: I would suggest reading "man 8 initctl" and the cookbook. You don't emit the started event - upstart does it for you when you run "start foo".
[11:10] <dcorbin_work> jhunt_: I have been looking through them. I'm trying to integrate an old-style init script with upstart jobs(?).  It would be nice if the start condition was independent of what the other script was.
[12:50] <jhunt_> dcorbin_work: so, you're not trying to convert a sysv service to an upstart job, you're trying to trigger an upstart job when a sysv service starts?
[15:01] <wraiden> dcorbin_work: use "initctl emit started JOB=jobname INSTANCE=" like documented in  "man 5 started"
