I have a process which is started by Upstart. It will try to respwan the process n number of times on failure and after that if it fails, I want to restart my Ubuntu. I tried telinit, halt etc in the *.conf file.

But I am getting an error

 stop: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

Is it possible to achieve through Upstart or else is there another way to achieve the same?

The below link helped me for a solution.

This means that you could just do (as a file in /etc/init):

  start on stopped $JOB RESULT=failed PROCESS=respawn
  exec /sbin/reboot

You can make that more generic if you like, a job that should cause a reboot when respawn fails could have (in its config file):

  env REBOOT_ON_RESPAWN_FAIL=1
  export REBOOT_ON_RESPAWN_FAIL

Then your reboot job could match it with:

  start on stopped REBOOT_ON_RESPAWN_FAIL=1 \
      RESULT=failed PROCESS=respawn
  exec /sbin/reboot
