[Devel] Re: [Users] OpenVZ and the Ubuntu Upstart init daemon

Hi,

Upstart/init is not the only program that breaks when stdin/out/err are
closed when you call it.

On the other hand, it's not too much to expect upstart to be a bit more
lenient in what it expects, given that there may or may not be a way to
have these file descriptors open when launching it.

So in this case I'd like to apply the "when in doubt, do both"
guideline and fix upstart *and* openVZ.
