Comment 11 for bug 596064

Haven't seen any race condition here yet. Problem here was "testparm" is somehow missing from PATH (and entire system)...but that's its own problem. What's annoying is that Upstart reported error 127 in /var/log/daemon.log - not obvious enough. IMO if a pre-script command bombs, as in trying to run a non-existant file, it should sure be obvious to point the finger to the real culprit. Upstart is already the unfortunate flak-catcher-target for decades of messy sysV init script grunge, and so we'd all understand (and benefit) if it did its part to redirect the causes and pains to where best deserved. Thank you for great software, much needed, too.
