service tells me to use Upstart

[Drew Stephens]

On a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 install, issuing the command `sudo service gdm stop` informs me that I should use the `service` command, rather than invoking init scripts. This is confusing.

    Titus:~$ service --status-all 2>&1|grep gdm
     [ ? ] gdm
    Titus:~$ sudo service gdm start
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service gdm start

    Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
    Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start gdm
    start: Unknown job: gdm
    Titus:~$ sudo service gdm stop
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service gdm stop

    Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
    Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop gdm
    Titus:~$ sudo start gdm
    start: Unknown job: gdm

Other things work as expected:

    Titus:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
     * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]
    Titus:~$ sudo service ssh restart
     * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]

This bug has been filed against the upstream Upstart bug tracker, but it appears that the bug is with the "service" command shipped in Ubuntu's sysvinit package. I've moved the bug over there for you.
