NAME
       started - event signalling that a job is running

SYNOPSIS
       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  started  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished starting and is now
       running.  The JOB environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environment variable contains the instance
       name which will be empty for single-instance jobs.

       init(8)  emits  this  event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in
       parallel with other activity.  It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by services declaring a dependency.

       Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment variables from their  own  environment  into  the
       started event.  See init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE
       A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:

              start on started apache
              stop on stopping apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:

              start on started postgresql
