Is there a way to run one Upstart service before another non-Upstart service (system V, to be more precise)?
Or I must "convert" my Upstart script to a System V script (if it provides such functionality at all)?
This appears to be "mission impossible".
A workaround is - stop the auto start of the other (System V) service and then start/stop it from your own Upstart service (in pre-start and post-stop)
