Hi All,

I believe sorcery now tries to restart the service if there's a init/ entry. This must be stopped, or done conditionally. Oftentimes services modify, extend, or adjust meaning of configuration options, or some in/external modules may stop loading as a result of the rebuild. Sorcery would stop the service, and then it would never start again. For situations where service can check its config (like `httpd -t' for Apache 2 or `slapd -t' for OpenLDAP) this check must be performed *before stopping the service*. For other services, nothing must be done. Existing daemons must continue running until the administrator decides to recycle them.
I'm quite sure that the feature in its current form must be disabled.

Sergey.
