I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and I have an upstart file angular-meteor.conf with the following:
# upstart service file at /etc/init/angular-meteor.conf
description "Meteor.js (NodeJS) application"
# When to start the service
start on runlevel [2345]
# When to stop the service
stop on shutdown
# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn
# Let upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
expect fork
# start meteor
exec meteor
This is not working, I have tried a few variations eg. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15657071/how-to-run-meteor-on-startup-on-ubuntu-server
Anyone know why it wouldn’t be working? I know that it is starting at least.

Add the following lines to your upstart script:
setuid user to run as
setgid group to run as, usually the same as the user
chdir /path/to/meteor_app
Then try starting it. Does that work? If not, take a look at the log file and see if there are any errors:
sudo tail /var/log/upstart/angular-meteor.log
