NAME
       startup - event signalling system startup

SYNOPSIS
       startup [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  startup  event  is  generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon after it has completed its own initialisation and is the
       signal that the rest of the system may be started.

       Typically this will involve checking and mounting the partitions and drives that form the filesystem, loading drivers for
       connected devices and starting the X windowing system or other login environment.

       In  the  default  Upstart  configuration,  the primary task run on the startup event is the /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf job
       responsible for generating the System V compatible runlevel(7) event.  See that page for a more detailed  explanation  of
       this process.

       Paradoxically there is currently no corresponding Upstart-native event signifying that the system is to be shutdown, only
       the System V compatible runlevel 0 and runlevel 6 events provide this functionality.

EXAMPLE
       A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:

              start on startup
