Starting an upstart task - Unknown job error

I have written an upstart task that I am trying to start on my CentOS 6 and Ubuntu boxes. I placed my upstart task in /etc/init/sidekiq.conf

But when I run...

start sidekiq

or 

service start sidekiq

As root, I get...

start: Unknown job: sidekiq

My upstart file is as below...

# /etc/init/sidekiq.conf - Sidekiq config for Ubuntu's Upstart

description "Sidekiq Background Workers"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [06]

env RAILS_ENV = 'qa'
env app = 'myapp'

setuid deploy
setgid deploy

respawn
respawn limit 3 30

#exec bundle exec sidekiq -e qa03

cd /srv/www/${app}
exec start-stop-daemon --start bundle exec sidekiq -q mailer -q default -L log/sidekiq.log -e ${RAILS_ENV}

Why is it not starting? I thought running start sidekiq should run the task?

cd is not an Upstart stanza. Just add a script section with the cd command. Also, your env stanzas should look like so: env app='myapp' (note the deletion of whitespace around the "=").

You can also just delete the "start-stop-daemon --start" portion, you do not need it (although the stuff before and after it you do need).
