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 environ-
       ment variable contains the instance name which will be empty  for  sin-
       gle-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 ser-
       vices 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
