  • It doesn't seem to work. Actually, I'm just unsure what kind of status is returned when I do sudo shutdown 0. I tried to figure out what status is being returned, but I simply couldn't. Any idea? Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 6:34
  • What benefit would more experience with systemd bring, when both question and answer are clearly upstart? On that note, consider your answer and the notion of hand-rolling your own restarts in the light of upstart's respawn stanza. Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 22:35
  • Ah, my mistake. I looked at Mint17 (the VM I had available) and I saw systemd; clearly Mint17 is recent enough to have it but Ubuntu 14 is not. I agree that it would be nice if his Guide were better integrated into upstart, but I was trying not to modify his guide too much. In any case, it looks like status works the same way in both.
