I'll probably never be the best in the field...

I don't know how to start this but here goes.


I've been "using" Linux for over 10 years, possibly more and I still feel like I'm nowhere

where I should be. I'll be fair most of my time was spent either figuring out how

to run games on *nix at the time but as I got older and "wiser" I started learning
more about it. I do credit my dad for opening up the world of *nix to me as
he was more of a networks type of guy.

Long story short, I was blessed with a job working with Unix systems; Solaris & IBM i series.
I'm able to get tasks from my senior fairly done without much questioning from him I still feel
I'm light years behind, I don't know why but it seems that's so much more than #echo "hello world".

I guess I'm just venting, this is my first sysadmin job ever and, it was a huge jump from
being in tech support for a year and half. A few times I surprised my senior but, I don't know...
feels like I'm missing something.

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
