Hi Simon ....  Having found the page describing the use of the initctl 
command, I can't find a package or anything else, such as the code.  I 
gather it used to be included with upstart, and that has changed.  There 
must be a workaround using another command, but so far, I'm no finding 
anything.

Regards,        Barry.
