Description

Upstart is a service management system for Linux-based systems that allows for better control over the initialization of services and applications. It is designed to replace the traditional init system, which is based on a sequence of system processes that control the startup and shutdown of the system. Upstart is an event-based system that is capable of starting and stopping services in response to events triggered by the system, users, or applications. It can also be used to start services in response to specific user actions, such as connecting to a wireless network. Upstart is designed to be used in conjunction with other system services, such as systemd and NetworkManager, for a complete service management solution.
