> The terminology may be different, but ultimately upstart's "start on" directive establishes a dependency.

Actually, it is part of the upstart design that its event-driven architecture is not structured in terms of dependencies.

At the end of the day, this is an issue of terminology. You can say "service X requires service Y to start" or you can say "once service Y has started, start service X." In both cases you can draw a dependency graph with an edge going from Y to X.


Only if one has completely missed the point of what the Cookbook explains.
