Detailed Description
Upstart is an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.
Feature highlights:
- Tasks and Services are started and stopped by events;
- Events are generated as tasks and services are started and stopped;
- Events may be received from any other process on the system;
- Services may be respawned if they die unexpectedly;
- Supervision and respawning of daemons which separate from their parent process;
- Communication with the init daemon over D-Bus.
Benefit to Fedora
Last upstream upstart version is 0.6.0 and it's recommended to update to this version. New release fixes a lot of bugs and brings up new dbus interface.
