Upstart Versions
Upstart v1.4 added support for setuid and setgid, so the default template requires Upstart v1.4.
A job file compatible with older versions of Upstart can be generated by
specifying version: '0.6' in the options (or by providing your own template).
Template Format
Templates use _.template from Lodash using
EJS style syntax: <%= option %>.
