Yes, that's how we normally do. But I'm not sure Upstart use that
model. Well it works, I have tried it, but I don't think it's the
correct way of doing it in Ubuntu/Upstart.

I have tried to look at the documentation, but I cant find detaild
information about the starting process and what it do, or which files
to edit to change the default way Upstart works.

Does this work in Upstart? Is it the way Upstart is meant to work, or
does it just work anyway?

Yes, they are, default. I will change that when I know how to make
Ubuntu use runlevel 4 default on my box.

This URL didn't work. It only gave me the same question as I'm already
asking.. How do I change the default runlevel in Upstart (not in a
standard init/SysV-process).
