Wow, it's like living in the future!

Was the intention that users only ever use a "restart" target (assuming
it passes --restart) in the initscript rather than the stop->start pair
some people are used to? 

Even if stop does a clean shutdown unless start uses --restart we have
the same issue with forgetting watches etc. Do we need a separate
start-like target which reads the db (for use after you've done a stop)
or is it safe to use --restart by default? Can an initscript distinguish
a start at start of day from a start run by the user (following an
earlier stop) and hence add the --restart automagically?

Ian.
