Take the 2-minute tour ×  How does the ssh daemon start on
Ubuntu server? I see /etc/init.d/ssh, but I don't see any sym-
links to it from the rc?.d directories.  I have a situation I'm
trying to troubleshoot where a server becomes unresponsive on
reboot after I add my own script to the shutdown/startup process
with update-rc.d client-services defaults 98 02  On reboot, ssh
shuts down, and that's the last I hear of the box (I don't have
console or syslog access so I'm working blind here).

down vote accepted  It looks like it uses upstart, instead of
System V init. Take a look at /etc/init/ssh.conf.  Take a look
at Anarci's post explaining Upstart from your other question:
How to write an init script that will execute an existing start
script?  I don't know much about Upstart, but I do know that it
is intended to replace System V init, and is used for many of
the startup processes in Ubuntu now.  share|improve this answer
