In order to define an upstart process, to be started automatically when the system is started in Ubuntu 12.04, I found a useful page describing how to create a myservice.conf file. The given example has the line 

expect fork

to be used when the process is forked exactly once. But my process is not forked whatsoever. Can I just omit this 'stanza/parameter'?

Yes, you must omit expect if your process's main process will stay resident. The default behavior without expect is to track the process using a simple waitpid call.
