Table 5: Event Summary Notes.

|Note | Detail                                                          |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| A   | Requires administrator to press Control-Alt-Delete key combina- |
|     | tion on the console.                                            |
| B   | Event generated when user performs graphical login.             |
| C   | These are specific examples. upstart-udev-bridge(8)  will  emit |
|     | events  which  match the pattern, "S-device-A" where 'S' is the |
|     | udev subsystem and 'A' is the udev action. See udev(7) and  for |
|     | further  details.  If  you  have sysfs mounted, you can look in |
|     | /sys/class/ for possible values for subsystem.                  |
| D   | Note this is in the singular - there is no 'filesystems' event. |
| E   | Emitted when administrator presses Alt-UpArrow key  combination |
|     | on the console.                                                 |
| F   | Denotes Display Manager running (about to be displayed), but no |
|     | users logged in yet.                                            |
| G   | Generated for each mount that completes successfully.           |
| H   | Emitted when mount attempt for single entry from  fstab(5)  for |
|     | any filesystem type is about to begin.                          |
| I   | Emitted when Upstart receives the SIGPWR signal.                |
| J   | Initial event (system or Session Init).                         |
| K   | Although the events are emmitted by init(8), the instigator may |
|     | be initctl(8) if a System Administrator has manually started or |
|     | stopped a job.                                                  |
| L   | /etc/init/umountnfs.sh.                                         |
| M   | Emitted when all virtual filesystems (such as /proc) mounted.   |
| N   | Emitted  when the --dev-wait-time timeout is exceeded for moun- |
|     | tall(8).  This defaults to 30 seconds.                          |
| O   | Emitted when the X(7) display  manager  exits  at  shutdown  or |
|     | reboot, to hand off to the shutdown splash manager.             |
| P   | Emitted  by  /etc/init.d/networking  just prior to stopping all |
|     | non-local network interfaces.                                   |
| Q   | Either 'container' or 'not-container' is emitted (depending  on |
|     | the environment), but not both.                                 |
| R   | Emitted  by  either  the  initramfs  or bootloader (for example |
|     | grub) as the initial event (rather than startup(7))  to  denote |
|     | the  system has booted into recovery mode. If recovery was suc- |
|     | cessful, the standard startup(7) event is then emitted,  allow- |
|     | ing the system to boot as normal.                               |
| S   | Emitted  to  indicate  the system has failed to boot within the |
|     | expected time. This event will trigger other jobs  to  forcibly |
|     | attempt to bring the system into a usable state.                |
| T   | Only emitted for a graphical session.                           |
| U   | See file-event(7).                                              |
