Looking at man 8 init, there is no job state "started", so having
WAIT_STATE=started is exactly equal to WAIT_STATE=foobar, since they
both don't exit.

So you may as well change it to something sensible.

Also, the reason that whoopsie exits as soon as it is respawned is that
there is already another whoopsie process running, that either was
started by something else (apport?), or upstart tost track of it.

Either way, fixing the wait-for-state (this patch or fixing
whoopsie.conf), fixes the 30sec respawn bug.

Bug description:
  wait-for-state is restarting whoopsie every 30sec:

  [14103.317598] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning
  [14133.330315] init: wait-for-state (whoopsienetwork-manager) main process (10221) terminated with status 100
  [14133.396185] init: whoopsie main process (10227) terminated with status 1
  [14133.396205] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning

  [14163.468346] init: whoopsie main process (10237) terminated with status 1
  [14163.468366] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning
  [14193.485204] init: wait-for-state (whoopsienetwork-manager) main process (10241) terminated with status 100
  [14193.560511] init: whoopsie main process (10249) terminated with status 1
  [14193.560531] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning

  
  The problem in wait-for-state.conf is this line:
  status $WAIT_FOR | grep -q "$TARGET_GOAL/$WAIT_STATE" && exit 0

  TARGET_GOAL is either "start" or "stop".
  WAIT_STATE by default is "started", but there is no job status like "start/started".

  so WAIT_STATE needs to be something like "running" (or "waiting" for
  goal of "stop").
