.... use $ status upstart-udev-bridge ? After all said process is managed by upstart, why pgrep for it?

When one uses the option -f than it actually prints the PID of the upstart-udev-bridge process. However using -f is a bad workaround, because than (at least wrt. the man page) the arguments and operands get included into the match, which may break scripts or even lead to security issues. I guess, the bug is, that p{grep|kill} strips off everything after the first '-' of the command before it actually tries to compare with the given operand (or something like that).
