[18:20] <atomx> hi
[18:21] <atomx> Now I noticed that Ubuntu does not use INIT, but upstart
[18:21] <atomx> ... even if I've been using it for 7 years
[18:21] <atomx> (at least 7(
[18:21] <ion> What’s INIT?
[18:21] <atomx> )
[18:23] <ogra_> ion, a very loud pid 0 
[18:23] <atomx> the standard process called by the kernel as the last step of tyhe boot
[18:23] <ogra_> err
[18:23] <ogra_> pid 1 
[18:23] <ogra_> :)
[18:24] <ion> atomx: Upstart comes /sbin/init.
[18:24] <ion> with
[18:25] <atomx> I tried a few times to read the init scripts, and saw that inittab misses, and I noticed that something unusual is there
[18:25] <atomx> In fact, upstart represents the new init scripts of init ? Is there some change in executable init ?
[18:26]  * ogra_ points to http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ 
[18:29] <atomx> I saw on that huge page the link to this channel, this is why I am here, probably somebody here can explain me in 2 minutes how 1. to write a new script 2. what are the changes from the classic System V scripts 3. if I can study the new system in less than 1 hour, and completely understand it.
[18:30] <ogra_> see the cookbook link at the top of the page 
[18:30] <ogra_> and no, 1h is likely not enough
[18:31] <atomx> hmmmm
[18:33] <atomx> thanks
[18:34] <atomx> but if your system explodes in a ball of fire or becomes unusable as a result of a suggestion from this document, you alone have the intellectual pleasure of fixing your systems

[18:41] <atomx> I started to read the introduction, and upstart seems great 
[19:04] <jodh> atomx: the best place to start is the Upstart Cookbook: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/. The first few pages should explain what you need - you don't need to read it all to start with :)
