[Bug 1367214] Re: Newly installed openssh-server and upstart: status: Unknown job: ssh

[Ivan Voras]

As an update, the ssh.conf file exists in /etc/init :

# ls /etc/init/*ssh*
/etc/init/ssh.conf

and it looks correct (I haven't modified any files in /etc/init).

I believe this is an upstart issue, the tools appear to be selecting
user tasks rather than system tasks. Try adding --system to your various
commands:

***@hunt:~$ initctl --system status ssh
ssh start/running, process 1352
***@hunt:~$ initctl status ssh
initctl: Unknown job: ssh


** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) => upstart (Ubuntu)

Thanks, adding --system apparently helps.

The verbosity is awful / nonexistent, I can only guess the command did
anything by seeing the PID changing:

# initctl --system restart ssh
ssh start/running, process 22389
# initctl --system restart ssh
ssh start/running, process 22394

Adding "-v" (the "verbose" switch) apparently doesn't do anything in any
of the common initctl commands I've tried (list, start, stop, restart).

This issue also affects mysql package.

$ sudo service mysql restart
stop: unknown job: mysql
start: unknown job: mysql


In other words, both mysql and ssh cannot be restarted.

I have recently upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, then this bug started
affecting mysql and ssh.

Probably because this piece of junk (upstart) just silently discards any
*.conf file with errors/unknown directives in it instead of
reporting/logging the problem.

I have exactly the same problem after fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04
(64bit).

Also confirmed after upgrade from functional 12.04 system to 14.04 (both
64 bit). --System flag makes it work

I also have this problem on a client's machine. This leads to failing
chef-scripts, that's very annoying.

Does anyone have a solution or workaround, except the --system flag?

Still an issue with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04:
$ su
# apt-get install openssh-server
....
initctl: Unknown job: ssh
....
# initctl status ssh
initctl: Unknown job: ssh
# initctl --system status ssh
ssh stop/waiting

But run the su as a login shell:
$ su -
# apt-get install openssh-server
.... (No "Unknown job: ssh) ...
# initctl status ssh
ssh start/running, process 18012
