It&#039;s event based so applications can be loaded when an event happens vs loading via some numeric ordering. Upstart has been used in Ubuntu for a few releases now, but 9.10 Karmic Kola made significant changes and most application startup happens with upstart now.<br /> <br /> == Basic knowledge ==<br /> The place to start with upstart is in its configuration directory<br /> cd /etc/init<br /> <br /> Here you will find the scripts that start the system. <br /> <br /> == runlevel ==<br /> The default runlevel used to be in /etc/inittab, now the config file /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf contains the default runlevel and /etc/init/rc.conf is called to start the apps in /etc/rcX.d/ where &#039;X&#039; is the numeric runlevel selected.</div>
