[Bug 522688] Re: /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin does not check that libvirtd has terminated on stop

[Chris Bainbridge]

Yes.

Do "virsh save dom /tmp/x" to hang libvirtd (bug #457716)
Then "service libvirt-bin restart" to restart libvirtd. It reports that the service is running but this is not true - in fact the process has died without reporting an error. 
If I then run libvirtd manually I get:

# libvirtd
10:51:36.935: error : qemudWritePidFile:494 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

The return code of the libvirtd process is 1 - a failure - so the init
script should report fail but it does not.

Also /var/run/libvirtd.pid should be removed when the libvirtd process
isn't running anymore and before attempting to start libvirtd.
