NAME

       upstart-socket-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and sockets

SYNOPSIS

       upstart-socket-bridge [OPTIONS]...

       The upstart-socket-bridge queries the Upstart init(8) daemon for all job configurations which start on or stop on the socket event. It then

       of environment variables for the job to query.
