[lxc-devel] [PATCH] Enhance Upstart init script to autoboot the "onboot" group.

[Michael H. Warfield]

At Serge's suggestion, I'm submitting a patch to update the Upstart
files to support autobooting the "onboot" group corresponding to the
patch I submitted earlier for the sysvinit script used by SysV init and
Systemd.

Provisos...

I have no way to test these changes as I have no Upstart running host.

I have no way to know if this it the optimum solution for the Upstart
case.

Someone else needs to test this change.

I managed to screw up a patch a day or so ago because I didn't double
test the changes after I had copied them from my development directory
back to my head git directory.  Consequently, given I can't even test
this once, this comes with no warranty.

Patch:

-- 
Enhance Upstart init script to autoboot the "onboot" group.

Add the feature to the Upstart init script to boot the "onboot"
group dependent on the start.auto = 1 flag.  This brings the
the Upstart behavior into congruence with the sysvinit script
for SysV Init and Systemd.
