Description
Seems like Upstart is the convention on Ubuntu nowadays. This would also make it easier to manage dependencies without modifying the script generated by generated.
E.g. create an Upstart script for starting databases and simply stating start on started pm2-init or start on starting pm2-init.
Would help with this:
