title: Upstart console output not working
body: <p>I used Upstart's provided example for <a href="http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#console-output">console output</a>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>/etc/init/test.conf</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>console output
  
  pre-start script
  
    # Perform whatever checks you like here (maybe checking
    # '/etc/default/foo' to see if the service is enabled # or not).
    #
    # if there are no problems detected, simply "exit 0", else do
    # something like this...
  
    # display an error message to stderr *on the console* and also write
    # the same message to the system log.
    logger -is -t "$UPSTART_JOB" "ERROR: foo!"
  
    # tell Upstart not to start the main process for the job.
    exit 1
  end script
  
  # this service doesn't do much :-)
  exec sleep 999
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then as root</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ initctl start test
  initctl: Job failed to start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The message is present in <code>/var/log/syslog</code>, but the message was not present in the console.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Jul 23 07:42:19 paul test[26595]: ERROR: foo!
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>How can I log errors to the console?</p>
  
  <p>This is Ubuntu 14.04,</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ initctl version
  init (upstart 1.12.1)
  </code></pre>
