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.

       This event is emitted when running both as pid 1 and as a Session Init.

       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.
       However, when running as a Session Init, the session-end event performs this function.

EXAMPLE

       A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:

              start on startup
