Well, after the show we are left to guessing, but at least your problem is solved - for now. Problems, even when they do not hit, tend to come back if the solution is not understood.

1. It might have been that the daemon process (sshd) was not running. Obviously it gets started automatically at system boot time, so the problem is gone.

2. Maybe it was running, but started under a users ID instead of root, so that another user could not access its services. In this case too you have no problem any more.

3. Maybe it was started correctly but - for an unknown reason - aborted. You should find residues of this happening in the error log (issue "errpt" and "errpt -a" respectively) and you should find out what condition was causing it, it might come back.

Perhaps there are a lot of other possible reasons, you might want to consider.

I hope this helps.

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 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 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 SEE ALSO
