title: About the upstart_service Resource
platform: linux

# upstart_service
Use the `upstart_service` InSpec audit resource to test a service using Upstart.
<br>
## Syntax
An `upstart_service` resource block declares the name of a service and then one (or more) matchers to test the state of the service:
describe upstart_service('service_name') do
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_running }
end
where
* `('service_name')` must specify a service name
* `be_installed`, `be_enabled`, and `be_running` are valid matchers for this resource; all matchers available to the `service` resource may be used
The path to the service manager's control may be specified for situations where the path isn't available in the current `PATH`. For example:
describe upstart_service('service_name', '/path/to/control') do
it { should be_enabled }
it { should be_installed }
it { should be_running }
end
<br>
## Matchers
