This feature is essential before we start moving certain services over to upstart.

A example is to be able to start a server running mysql as a slave without mysql starting automatically, as we would need to verify binary log position between the servers first.

Installing memcached, but running multiple instances via separate upstart files would allow one to remove the default file, but a package upgrade could replace the missing file, so one would have to edit it, which could cause an unnecessary packaging conflict on upgrade.

Being able to script the these settings is required. The above plan sounds perfect, except that it is not implemented yet.

Earlier discussion of the above plan: http://<email address hidden>/msg00638.html
