Dmedia 13.12 uses Upstart

Written for Dmedia by Jason Gerard DeRose on 2013-12-26

As of Dmedia 13.12, the Dmedia background service is now started via Upstart.

For developers and expert users, this brings about a few important changes you should be aware of.

First, the Dmedia service log file is now:

~/.cache/upstart/dmedia.log

Second, `dmedia-cli Kill` is now deprecated. Instead, stop Dmedia like this:

$ stop dmedia

Likewise, you can start or restart Dmedia with:

$ start dmedia
$ restart dmedia

Finally, you can easily see if Dmedia is running with:

$ status dmedia
