heartbeat integration with upstart

Hi all,

So I do a lot of work with heartbeat for HA setups, and I as I started
poking around in upstart, it seems that there may be a good match
between the OCF resource management in Heartbeat v2 and the way
upstart manages resources. It seems like there is a good opportunity
for a nice integration to make HA Ubuntu systems fairly easy to deal
with - at least once things are using upstart and not just the sysv
compat layer. But I wanted to float the idea out there and see if
anyone else found it interesting.

It's not as if this couldn't be accomplished by simple scripts that
just called start, stop and status on services. But since both systems
are event and dependency driven, it seems like a heartbeat plugin to
interface directly with upstart in some intelligent way could be cool.

Anyway. Just a thought.

Monty
