Upstart does not support restart action

[aflatto]

Trying to run the cookbook on CentOS, the cookbook fails due to Upstart unable to support the restart action requested on the carbon.conf generationL
notifies :restart, "service[carbon-cache]"

service "carbon-cache" do
provider Chef::Provider::Service::Upstart
action [ :enable, :start ]
end

Recipe: graphite::carbon

Do you plan on adding the functionality or change it to use init scripts for rhel family ?

I believe CentOS 6 comes with Upstart support. It looks like the carbon-cache service tried to start but failed. Do you have logs for the carbon-cache service available?
