Bug Description
In shell:
stop
Result:
"logout"
Intended:
Nothing (was a typo, meant to write top).
Fortunetly I didn't loose any data, but I would have if I would have had any unsaved files so this is at least a critical usablity issue if not a security vulnerability (Denial of Service vulnereabilty from authenticated user.. (myself)? Didn't check the box. shutdown requires sudo..).
Also (all?) other initctl commands affected:
start
start: Job is already running: gnome-session
man stop
start JOB [KEY=VALUE]...
stop JOB [KEY=VALUE]...
JOB should be required(?)
Just in case (not sure how to report/change "Affects"), using 13.10, upstart 1.10-0ubuntu7, but I guess older/newer versions are also affected..

Problem is caused by UPSTART_JOB and UPSTART_INSTANCE still being set in the gnome-session environment.
