NAME¶
startup - event signalling system startup
SYNOPSIS¶
startup [
ENV]...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
startup event is generated by the Upstart
init(8) daemon after
it has completed its own initialisation and is the signal that the rest of the
system may be started.
Typically this will involve checking and mounting the partitions and drives that
form the filesystem, loading drivers for connected devices and starting the X
windowing system or other login environment.
In the default Upstart configuration, the primary task run on the
startup
event is the
/etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf job responsible for generating
the System V compatible
runlevel(7) event. See that page for a more
detailed explanation of this process.
Paradoxically there is currently no corresponding Upstart-native event
signifying that the system is to be shutdown, only the System V compatible
runlevel 0 and
runlevel 6 events provide this functionality.
EXAMPLE¶
A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:
