Good morning, Aidan.

I have taken yours and simplified it a little bit, mostly by removing 
the logger calls (for now)...

start on stopped rc2
start on stopped rc3
start on stopped rc4
start on stopped rc5

stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6

respawn
exec /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

 - - - - -

It does seem to sort of work... I reboot the machine (didn't think I 
needed to do that but I guess so) and said "ps aux | grep getty" and 
got a line that indicated that faxgetty was running on ttyS0.

A few questions...

1.  Could I just say "start on stopped rc[2345]" and "stop on 
runlevel [016]"?  I see that in the serial file in Fedora 9, they say 
"stop on runlevel [016]".  (Note:  I could just try it but if it 
doesn't complain I'll still not really know if it's working...)

2.  The /etc/event.d/serial file apparently (not sure about this) 
sets up all available serial ports, at least that's what it vaguely 
looks like.  If I set up faxgetty on ttyS0, won't that conflict with 
upstart's attempt (if that's what it's actually doing) to set 
/dev/ttyS0 using the serial file?

3.  You show the "respawn" and "exec" on one line i.e. "respawn exec 
/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty..." but my installation complained about 
that on bootup, and I had to put the respawn on its own line.  Not a 
big deal, certainly, but should I be able to run it all on one line 
like that?  I ask only because if it works for you and not for me 
then that may point to some other boneheaded misconfiguration here.

4.  You mentioned the documentation for upstart... the only 
documentation I've been able to find is a one-page "Getting Started" 
info sheet that assumes quite a bit of prior knowledge, and a wiki 
with an UpstartOnFedora page that significantly disconnects with what 
I see on Fedora 9 (that page was written in reference to Fedora 
6).  Is there any other documentation available?

I am plugging along... as of now I can get faxgetty, faxq, and hfaxd 
to all run... now to see if it can receive a fax...

Eric
