Comment(by USSJoin):

 So I just spent a few hours trying to write an upstart (the new ubuntu
 replacement for init.d) script for Tahoe. It appears not to be possible,
 because the Tahoe daemon forks in such a way that the initctl processes
 can't follow it (with either the "expect daemon" or "expect fork"
 stanzas).

 However, there's an easy workaround I've found, that I'm now using:

 ln -s /usr/local/bin/tahoe /etc/init.d/tahoe

 This *does* require that the "root" user be able to run tahoe, which
 requires an

 ln -s /path/to/your/.tahoe /root/.tahoe

 But that's also required by any (theoretical) upstart script.
