Re: failing to stop a service means giving up on starting?

[address@hidden]

Hello,

if the stop method failed, it's not clear if it's safe to run the start method 
(the service is in kind of undefined state).

You can add a standalone restart method that will override the default 
stop+start sequence (the restart method can be better prepared for such 
exceptions then stop+start):

        check process redis ...
                start method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server start"
                stop method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server stop"
                restart method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server restart"


Best regards,
Martin
