[Bug 1065684] Re: network-interface-security.conf should be a task

[Kees Cook]

No so simple, unfortunately. Here's why it was written this way:

# In order to handle the lack of upstart feature LP: #568860, we need to
# run multiple times, for each of the above "starting" service instances, or
# else another one might run while we're running, and not wait for us to
# finish.
instance $JOB${INTERFACE:+/}${INTERFACE:-}

Title:
  network-interface-security.conf should be a task

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The network-interface-security upstart job should be a task.  It
  doesn't do anything after the pre-start script, and there is no stop
  on.  On a machine which creates (and destroys) a lot of interfaces,
  this can result in thousands of network-interface-security jobs for
  non-existent nics.

  THis is related to bug 1065589.
