Bug Description

The stop on conditions for these jobs is

stop on runlevel [!2345]

which will cause them to stop when the administrator switches runlevel to 1. But the on switch to 2, there is no corresponding start on condition to cause them to start again.

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I tried this "runlevel" switch in our systemd releases, even though systemd doesn't have this same exact concept, and it worked as expected. "runlevel 1" stopped samba, and going back to "2" started it again.

While trusty is still supported and is an upstart-based release, I don't believe this issue qualifies for an SRU as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When.
