Upstart - Job starts but then stops immediately

I am trying to set up an upstart job but for some reason it stops immediately after starting

I'm on Cents 6.5 btw

here are my files:

/ect/init/test-daemon.conf

start on startup
stop on shutdown
respawn

script
    sudo -u root php -f /usr/share/test_daemon.php
end script

/usr/share/test-daemon.php

<?php

    // The worker will execute every X seconds:
    $seconds = 2;

    // We work out the micro seconds ready to be used by the 'usleep' function.
    $micro = $seconds * 1000000;

    while(true){

        // Now before we 'cycle' again, we'll sleep for a bit...
        usleep($micro);
    }

I have then got this file: (which I found on a forum that logs events)

/tmp/log.file

debug/ (/dev/fd/10):19735:Fri Jul 25 11:52:40 AST 2014:Job
test-daemon/ starting. Environment was: TERM=linux
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin

debug/ (/dev/fd/9):19779:Fri Jul 25 11:52:41 AST 2014:Job test-daemon/ stopping. Environment was:
TERM=linux
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
PWD=/
JOB=test-daemon
RESULT=failed
SHLVL=1
PROCESS=respawn
UPSTART_INSTANCE=
UPSTART_EVENTS=stopping
UPSTART_JOB=debug
INSTANCE=
_=/usr/bin/env

in the log file, I get more debug information but its basically the above repeated a few times.

I get this from running start test-daemon which outputs test-daemon start/running, process 20600

I know the test-daemon.php doesn't actually do anything...at the moment I just need to get the actual job running, once thats fixed ill drop in my code

So from the above...is there anything I am doing wrong? as the job should only stop if I run stop test-daemon right?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Thanks, Dave

I'd rather post a comment but with the low reputation limit I can not. I am not familiar with this distro flavor but did you try to use nohup ? Like this:

nohup php -f /usr/share/test_daemon.php &

It could be possible that detaching your command from the service process kills it.
