NAME

       started - event signalling that a job is running

SYNOPSIS

       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  started  event  is  generated  by  the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished
       starting and is now running.  The JOB environment variable  contains  the  job  name,  and  the  INSTANCE
       environment variable contains the instance name which will be empty for single-instance jobs.

       init(8)  emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event
       will do so in parallel with other activity.  It is typically  combined  with  the  stopping(7)  event  by
       services declaring a dependency.

       Job  configuration  files  may  use  the  export  stanza  to  export environment variables from their own
       environment into the started event.  See init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:

              start on started apache
              stop on stopping apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:

              start on started postgresql
