I instantiate an Amazon Linux machine through EC2 service and the virtual machine already have the "Upstart" daemon, version 0.6.5, installed. How can I upgrade this package to newest version, this case the version 1.5?

sudo initctl --version return:

initctl (upstart 0.6.5)

Amazon actually suggests that you don't in their forums.

I'm able to get almost everything I need out of upstart 0.65 on Amazon Linux. Though I'm also disappointed you can't upgrade.

yum upgrade upstart may work if you have a throw away instance.

  • After one year I can't remember the context why I need this. Naturally I found a whay to do what I've wanted. – ruzenhack Jun 13 '17 at 14:48
