Because redefining restart is not possible in practice. It is as simple as that. It goes against what the LSB will propose, some developers want restart as it is, and I don't want to confuse long time administrators that expect the braindead current definition of restart to be there. You try to define restart-if-running/maybe-restart/whatever-you-name-it to as mandatory instead of optional and see if that goes through policy. If it does (and I'd like it to, I should add), we'll talk again about the issue. I just happen to think my approach has far better chances to ever get deployed. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
