$UPSTART_EVENTS will not be set in this scenario (since no event caused the
job to stop - an admin intervened).

- The daemon died, but is has not reached the respawn limit and is

  In this scenario, $PROCESS will be set to the name of the job process
that failed (for example 'pre-start', 'main').

- The daemon died and is not going to attempt to respawn due to whatever

 In this scenario, if the respawn stanzas was specified, $PROCESS will be
set to 'respawn' to denote that the respawn limit was reached.

If the respawn stanza was not specified, $PROCESS will not be set. However,
in both scenarios upstart will set $EXIT_STATUS or $EXIT_SIGNAL (whichever
is appropriate).

See stopped(7) and init(5) for further details.
