Bug Description
Upstart already supports nice(2) via the nice stanza.
It would be very useful for disk intensive processes to be run with adjusted io scheduling using a respective ionice stanza.

Until this is implemented you can use a .override file to make upstart ionice the process. Using $$ doesn't work, as it seems to run in a subshell but using the pared PID works well. For example my /etc/init/
nice 15
pre-start script
ionice -c3 -p $PPID
end script
