You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In shell:
stop

Result:
"logout"

Intended:
Nothing (was a typo, meant to write top).

Fortunetly I didn't loose any data, but I would have if I would have had
any unsaved files so this is at least a critical usablity issue if not a
security vulnerability (Denial of Service vulnereabilty from
authenticated user.. (myself)? Didn't check the box. shutdown requires
sudo..).

Also (all?) other initctl commands affected:

start
start: Job is already running: gnome-session

man stop
start  JOB [KEY=VALUE]...

stop   JOB [KEY=VALUE]...

JOB should be required(?)

Just in case (not sure how to report/change "Affects"), using 13.10,
upstart 1.10-0ubuntu7, but I guess older/newer versions are also
affected..
