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

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mongodb
mongodb start/running, process 4374

*****************************************

 to use mongo just type mongo and press enter

***************************************
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.6
connecting to: test
