Comment 2 for bug 433544

Hrm, well, my piece (/sbin/service) is relatively simple...

+ start|stop|restart|status)
          # Action is a valid upstart action
          exec ${ACTION} ${SERVICE} ${OPTIONS}
       ;;

However, this would require Upstart to natively support the reload and force-reload actions in the same manner as start, stop, restart, and status... as scripts (or symlinks) in /sbin/reload and /sbin/force-reload.

So I'll add a sysvinit-utils task, assign that to myself.

But I'm going to reassign the upstart bit to Scott. Hopefully you can add reload and force-reload to /sbin/initctl, and install the proper symlinks.
