The latest that I have seen on this porting effort is here: http://blog.surgut.co.uk/2013/11/libnih-upstart-dependency-ported-to.html I asked previously on this bug if someone had later news. Do you have more information than that? The above is definitely not "upstart running on BSD." That's upstart's underlying support library mostly working on BSD after disabling two features (that are required for upstart).

I know inotify is working on kFreeBSD with the libinotify-kqueue software (recently packaged in Debian). https://github.com/dmatveev/libinotify-kqueue

That leaves only abstract domain name sockets left, which should not be too complicated.

Upstart still does not run on kFreeBSD, though.
