Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
the telinit man page does not have even a see-also for initctl
yet initctl is needed to replicate some of the missing telinit functionality
There is no "telinit Q" to reload the config
instead:
# initctl stop [name]
# initctl start [name]
(or something else which I have yet to discover)
should be used to cause the chages made to [name] to take effect.
It has taken me several months to discover the existence of initctl.
I think the man page shoudl say "use initctl instead" near where is says "telinit is provided for compatibility"

This is probably because the telinit manpage was from the compat/sysv directory, so didn't reference anything outside of that. Now that telinit is considered a standard Upstart util, we should update it to include references to initctl and explain how things work in the Upstart world
