Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service rsyslog top

The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but top is not supported for Upstart jobs.
root@dc:/home/marchael# /etc/init.d/rsyslog stop
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service rsyslog stop

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop rsyslog
rsyslog stop/waiting
