But, it seems looking at the Upstart code I can just as easily return a negative return value to cause the job to stop: <A HREF="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~upstart-devel/upstart/trunk/view/head:/init/job.c#L417">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~upstart-devel/upstart/trunk/view/head:/init/job.c#L417</A> Is there a reason I should call "stop" over just returning a negative value? Thanks, Ted </BODY> </HTML>
