** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Between upgrading upstart to trusty and rebooting: reload (initctl
+ reload) commands fail and do not SIGHUP upstart jobs.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * with pid1 being precise init, attempt to perform $ initctl reload
+ against any job using trusty's initctl
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Minimal, this re-introduces a previously removed code-path as
+ fallback when reload signal delivery fails.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * original bug report below

new initctl should fallback to old reload signal semantics, if pid1
doesn't export reload dbus method
as per comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/893021/comments/2

I'm currently testing Precise to Trusty upgrades and encountered - while
troubleshooting bug http://pad.lv/1301962 - this issue:
# initctl reload dbus
initctl: Method "Reload" with signature "" on interface
"com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Instance" doesn't exist
The issue at hand is that during the upgrade the 'upstart' package will
be updated but Precise's Upstart is still running until a reboot.
Trusty's 'upstart' package ships a new 'initctl' binary that handles
reloads only via the 'Reload' D-Bus method. Precise's Upstart doesn't
support the 'Reload' D-Bus method though.
Can Trusty's initctl binary be patched so that it falls back to the previous
reload behavior if the Upstart version in use doesn't support the 'Reload'
D-Bus method?
Would you like me to open a new bug for this issue?
