NAME
       stopped - event signalling that a job has stopped

SYNOPSIS
       stopped JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE RESULT=RESULT [PROCESS=PROCESS] [EXIT_STATUS=STATUS] [EXIT_SIGNAL=SIGNAL] [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  stopped event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has stopped.  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.

       If  the job was stopped normally, the RESULT environment variable will be ok, otherwise if the job was stopped because it
       has failed it will be failed.

       When the job has failed, the process that failed will be given in the PROCESS environment variable.   This  may  be  pre-
       start,  post-start,  main,  pre-stop  or post-stop; it may also be the special value respawn to indicate that the job was
       stopped because it hit the respawn limit.

       Finally in the case of a failed job, one of either EXIT_STATUS or EXIT_SIGNAL may be given to indicate the cause  of  the
       stop.   Either  EXIT_STATUS will contain the exit status code of the process, or EXIT_SIGNAL will contain the name of the
       signal that the process received.  The normal exit job configuration stanza can be used to prevent particular exit status
       values or signals resulting in a failed job, see init(5) for more information.

       If neither EXIT_STATUS or EXIT_SIGNAL is given for a failed process, it is because the process failed to spawn (for exam-
       ple, file not found).  See the system logs for the error.

       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 starting(7) event by services when inserting themselves
       as a dependency.

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

EXAMPLE
       A service that wishes to be running whenever another service would be running, started before and stopped after it, might
       use:

              start on starting apache
              stop on stopped apache

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

              start on stopped postgresql
