/lib/init/upstart-job already does this from natty on:


restart)
[...]
    if status "$JOB" 2>/dev/null | grep -q ' start/'; then
        RUNNING=1
    fi
    if [ -n "$RUNNING" ] ; then
        stop "$JOB"
    fi
    start "$JOB"
    ;;

Marking as fixed.

Title:
  service <service> restart does not use an updated job configuration

Status in Upstart:
  Won't Fix
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  start a system using upstart. "ps axf" gives for one service converted to upstart:
    862 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d

  now change /etc/init/libvirt-bin to exec "/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d" to "/usr/sbin/libvirtd -d --listen". Afterwards:
  # service libvirt-bin restart
  libvirt-bin start/running, process 895
  # ps axf | grep libvirtd
    895 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d

  You'll have to stop, then start libvirt-bin, to have the change made have any effect:
  # service libvirt-bin stop
  libvirt-bin stop/waiting
  # service libvirt-bin start
  # service libvirt-bin start
  libvirt-bin start/running, process 928
  # ps axf | grep libvirt
    928 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d --listen
