 Sample Upstart Script
 ---------------------
 
+In this example we've already created a container to run Redis with an id of
+0a7e070b698b.  To create an upstart script for our container, we create a file
+named ``/etc/init/redis.conf`` and place the following into it:

 .. code-block:: bash

+Next, we have to edit the docker upstart script (``/etc/init/docker.conf``)
+so that we run docker with ``-r=false``.  In this example, we also ensure
+that docker will start running before *redis* is started.
