Comment 275 for bug 554172

I updated to upstart 0.6.5-7, rebooted, and have the same issues with services not starting. Specifically, nginx doesn't start, and I have two CGI services that interact with nginx, that don't start on boot. I've checked with rcconf, and all 3 are labelled to start on boot. Checking some of the logs (/var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/boot{.log}) doesn't reveal anything that would indicate a problem with these services, as far as I can tell.

A related issue, that I mentioned earlier, is that 'shutdown -r now' doesn't work. I get the "System is shutting down" message on my console, but nothing happens. I have to use 'reboot', and this seems to work consistently. From some of the Ubuntu forum conmments, it seems like this is possibly related to the upstart problems.
