How should I configure upstart runlevels ? Of course I could edit /etc/init/XX but that wasn't right way to do this, I think.

Technically the .conf files in /etc/init/ are configuration files so you are free to edit them.

In Ubuntu 11.04 and later you can use .override files to modify Upstart jobs without modifying the .conf file: To modify the job foo as defined in /etc/init/foo.conf create /etc/init/foo.override and put kin the things you want to change.

Unfortunately the documentation for the .override files seems to be a bit poor so I'm not really sure about the details here.

Upstart Intro, Cookbook and Best Practises uses an override file containing a manual stanza to prevent an job from beeing started automatically:

echo "manual" >> /etc/init/myjob.override

Just copying the .conf file into the .override file seems to work, too.

    Manually poking the files is the "right" way to manage upstart. – Oli Sep 04 '12 at 11:11
