A few more questions about Upstart

Hi!

There are a few questions I have about Upstart. The first is about logd 
- I noticed that in Upstart 0.3.0, the logd behaviour changed so that it 
does not output to the console at all. The only alternative is to do 
"console output" in each job file. If you do that, it doesn't get logged 
to /var/log/boot. Is there any way to have it log to the console and the 
bootlog, and also how would I go about changing the default logd behaviour?

The second question - Frugalware uses Splashy 
(http://splashy.alioth.debian.org) to provide the bootup splash screen. 
How would I get support for this in Upstart?

The last is about the status program. "initctl list" reports that tty1 
is running, yet "status tty1" outputs nothing. Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks,
Alex
