[Bug 579274] [NEW] "unknown job" trying to restart postfix

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: upstart

On a Lucid machine, the 'reload' command sometimes complains that a job
is unknown, even though there is an entry of that name in /etc/init.d
and 'service $x reload' works:

mbp at lithe% sudo restart postfix
restart: Unknown job: postfix
mbp at lithe% sudo service postfix status
 * postfix is running
mbp at lithe% suod st
mbp at lithe% sudo start postfix
start: Unknown job: postfix
mbp at lithe% sudo service postfix restart
 * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix                                                          [ OK ] 
 * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix                                                          [ OK ] 

I think I've also seen this with other jobs than postfix.

postfix does start at bootup on this machine.

postfix doesn't show up in 'initctl list'.   Perhaps its init script is
somehow out of date with upstart?
