In what ways can we improve Upstart from an administrators perspective? What would make sysadmin's lives easier?

• custom actions [e.g. status, force-reload, try-restart]


• programmatic enabling/disabling of services


• improved logging


• serialized/interactive boot


• suggested new common events? (see man upstart-events for current examples)


• ability to list "services which will start on boot"


• fixing LP bug: 406397 would make writing/testing new jobs easier
