[mosquitto-dev] Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't find mosquitto daemon

[Christian Prossenitsch <christian.prossenitsch@xxxxxxxx>]

hi,

i think there is a problem with the init system of ubuntu and the 
mosquitto broker, because there is no way of stopping / starting the 
client without killing the daemon, although both a SysV init script and 
an upstart script seem to be provided. when looking at the sysV init 
script (/etc/init.d/mosquitto), the function "init_is_upstart" evaluates 
to true, so the script does actually nothing, but upstart initctl tool 
can't find mosquitto either ("initctl list" doesn't list it). when i 
kill mosquitto, it gets respawned immediately, so there is no way of 
stopping it in a controlled way.

any help or clarification on this topic is highly appreciated, thanks in 
advance!
