How can I inspect the log of Upstart?

I am trying to lean Upstart and I am now reading the Upstart Cookbook from http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/.

When I read to this part: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#...te-transitions.

After following those instructions:

Code:

# initctl log-priority info
# tail -f /var/log/syslog
# initctl restart tty1

I still cannot see those state change information from /var/log/syslog? why?

I am using Ubuntu 12.10.

As far as I can see from some poking around that I've done on an Ubuntu 10.04, it would appear that when the last command is typed, it will display the correct information. However, I've never really played around with Upstart, so I don't know.
