NAME
       stopped - event signalling that a job has stopped

SYNOPSIS
       stopped	 JOB=JOB   INSTANCE=INSTANCE  RESULT=RESULT  [PROCESS=PROCESS]
       [EXIT_STATUS=STATUS] [EXIT_SIGNAL=SIGNAL] [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION
       The stopped event is generated by the Upstart init(8)  daemon  when  an
       instance	 of  a job has stopped.	 The JOB environment variable contains
       the job name,  and  the	INSTANCE  environment  variable	 contains  the
       instance name which will be empty for single-instance jobs.

       If  the	job was stopped normally, the RESULT environment variable will
       be ok, otherwise if the job was stopped because it has failed  it  will
       be failed.

       When  the  job has failed, the process that failed will be given in the
       PROCESS environment variable.  This may be pre-start, post-start, main,
       pre-stop	 or  post-stop;	 it  may  also be the special value respawn to
       indicate that the job was stopped because it hit the respawn limit.

       Finally in the case of a failed	job,  one  of  either  EXIT_STATUS  or
       EXIT_SIGNAL  may	 be  given  to indicate the cause of the stop.	Either
       EXIT_STATUS will contain the  exit  status  code	 of  the  process,  or
       EXIT_SIGNAL  will  contain  the	name  of  the  signal that the process
       received.  The normal exit job configuration stanza can be used to pre-
       vent  particular	 exit  status  values or signals resulting in a failed
       job, see init(5) for more information.

       If neither EXIT_STATUS or EXIT_SIGNAL is given for a failed process, it
       is  because  the process failed to spawn (for example, file not found).
       See the system logs for the error.

       init(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks
       started	or  stopped  by	 this  event will do so in parallel with other
       activity.  It is typically combined with the starting(7) event by  ser-
       vices when inserting themselves as a dependency.

       Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment
       variables from their own	 environment  into  the	 stopped  event.   See
       init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE
       A  service  that wishes to be running whenever another service would be
       running, started before and stopped after it, might use:

	      start on starting apache
	      stop on stopped apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been  stopped
       might use:

	      start on stopped postgresql
