Welcome to the club...
I started as a developper but shortly was thrown as a sysadmin because thas is what they needed but didnt have the job except a developpers job on unix/oracle...(far long ago...).
I know how it is and think you are lucky, you have this forum and Internet, what I didnt when I started...
Lesson one: You learn by mistakes! (By far the most efficient since you rarely do the same silly mistake twice)
Lesson Two: Sometime you have no other choice than to go ahead...and produce a catastrophy, so before: Check you have a good backup! when it comes to system be sure you have a recent make_recovery tape or image to restore the OS (good practice...) look at the mans:
man make_recovery, vgdisplay lvdisplay etc...
About the developpers :You are right developpers ARE NOT to be owners of applications, only of what they in development/test, that is once in production applicatopn_owner is owner of all files...So Im not the one going to blame you but the chief of dev team.
Be free to ask anyhing here especially if you are unsure of possible consequences.
We will be just to glad to help you
Till nest
Best regards

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
