This change was made intentionally according to a policy change: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpstartCompatibleInitScripts
So I'm not going to change openssh itself, nor I think should rsyslog be changed. However, I believe some of the Upstart folks were looking into a quite different centralised solution to the underlying problem you're encountering; I forget the details but I think it was to have /lib/lsb /init-functions deal with automatically redirecting manual /etc/init.d/foo calls to the corresponding Upstart jobs. (Note, though, that you can and should use the "service" command, which abstracts away these changes.) ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311810 Title: /etc/init.d/rsyslog is an init script not a link to /lib/init/upstart- job To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1311810/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
