start process at boot time

[Wakan]

I'm trying to start a server program using upstart job...
I copied tty1 job in a new job and modified the exec statement to call 
my program.
initctl list shows my job, but it's in (stop) waiting state...
why it can't start automatically?
If I start it manually, then the respawn options restarts it when it 
dies (I'm killing it)....
but it doesn't start automatically at boot time....
maybe (but I don't know...there no debugging informations where to 
search for malfunctioning causes) because this program depends on mysqld...
so maybe it needs to start after mysqld started...
I read around that I can use the mysql event to wake up my job...but
who tells mysqld to generate the event "mysql" after it's startup phase?
thanks in advance,
Carlo
