[Bug 1264617] [NEW] Job can cause the system to hang on shutdown

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with upstart 1.11-0ubuntu1 and if a script
with a wrong expect stanza is started and tried to stop (so that the
stop hangs) the system is unable to shutdown anymore. I'm seeing the
message that the system will now shutdown on tty1 but nothing will
happen.

Here is an example script:

exec sh -c 'sleep 1'
expect daemon


On starting and stopping it the system will hang on the next shutdown.
