Bug Description

Previous gearman-job-server SysV init script used /etc/default/gearman-job-server to configure command line arguments. Current upstart job script does not use /etc/default/gearman-job-server. So at this moment we do not have any opportunity to configure gearman, e.g. configure persistent storage. The file /etc/default/gearman-job-server is still present it package.

The following patch fixes this behaviour.

I think you should use `"$PARAMS"` in the patch rather than the unquoted `$PARAMS`. There are some parameters containing spaces like `--libpq-conninfo`.

2 years old bug. I suppose that we should use systemd instead ;)

To be fair $PARAMS without quotes works for the other parameters, but it doesn't for values containing spaces like the PostgreSQL connection info. A work around is to use a URL for PostgreSQL, which does not contain spaces instead.

upstart job is long gone I'm afraid. systemd unit from Debian seems to work fine.
