Upstart Improved Documentation and New Features for Ubuntu Natty Release

"The version of Upstart provided with Ubuntu Natty provides a new “initctl” command “show-config” which when coupled with a new tool “initctl2dot” allows these interactions to be understood visually."
In this post today, Hunt explains the new “initctl show-config” command as well as the "initctl2dot" command and show in a series of visualization graphs how the typical Ubuntu system starts.
Hunt uses his blog to explain to users what Upstart really means and highlights a few new commands. In his series of posts on Upstart Hunt shows that new with the Ubuntu Natty cycle is a focus on documenting the mysteries of Upstart.
