I am trying to get upstart start a user job during the boot of my machine.

I have my conky.conf upstart config file in my $HOME/.init directory. Wenn I run "start conky" I get this error:

dre@dre-laptop:~$ start conky
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.76"
(uid=1000 pid=2843 comm="start conky ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job"
member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0"
destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
dre@dre-laptop:~$ 

I (think I) know that this error has to do with the d-bus system (authentification). I also read (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#id96) that ubuntu 12.10 already has the right configuration in the d-bus config file "/etc/dbus-1/system.d/Upstart.conf" to allow normal users to use upstart.

dre@dre-laptop:~/.init$ cat conky.conf 

description "conky, a system monitor appled"

start on lightdm
stop on shutdown

# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn

# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
#expect fork

# Start conky
exec /usr/bin/conky

So, who knows, what do I do wrong???
