Hot on the heels of v1.7, this new release adds two interesting new features:
- upstart-file-bridge: a new bridge that allows jobs to react to file events.
Examples:
# Event emitted when file is created, modified or deleted start on file FILE=/run/app.pid
# Event emitted when file is created (only) start on file FILE=/run/app.pid EVENT=created
# Event emitted when files within a directory are created, # modified or deleted. start on file FILE=/var/log/
# Event emitted when files that match a glob pattern are # created in the indicated directory. start on file FILE=/var/crash/*.crash EVENT=created
See upstart-file-bridge(8) and file-event(7) for further details.
- upstart-monitor: a very simple tool (*) that can run in either CLI or GUI mode either connected to PID 1 or a Session Init (as root or non-root) that allows users and admins to see event flows.
See upstart-monitor(8) for further details (and [1] for obligatory screenshot).
Thanks to all involved!

Kind regards,
James.
(*) - If you are interested in contributing to Upstart, we'd love to hear from you. Now is a great time to get involved, since with the advent of the upstart-monitor the fun expands to include GUI hackers too ;-)
