[Bug 1367214] [NEW] Newly installed openssh-server and upstart: status: Unknown job: ssh

 

Public bug reported:

Just after installing openssh-server, there is no ssh service in the
initctl's list. Consequently, the SSH server cannot be started:

# initctl start ssh
initctl: Unknown job: ssh

# dpkg -l | grep ssh
ii  openssh-client                             1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2                      i386         secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
ii  openssh-server                             1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2                      i386         secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines

# initctl start ssh
initctl: Unknown job: ssh

Running "/etc/init.d/ssh" does not do anything since the script exits, AFAIK in the upstart check.
Running "service ssh restart" results in:

# service ssh restart
stop: Unknown job: ssh
start: Unknown job: ssh

After rebooting the machine, sshd is started (!), but still not visible
in "initctl list" (!!) and running /etc/init.d/ssh still doesn't do
anything (!!!), as well as the "service" command returning the same
"Unknown job: ssh" error.

Exactly the same problem happens with the php5-fpm service. I've also
installed nginx and while it can be controlled by using
/etc/init.d/nginx , it is not visible in "initctl list".

The question is - how do I control the services in Ubuntu 14.04? This is
a fresh install, the ssh service was the first service installed.
