[Bug 1315021] [NEW] Service restart fails because process has not exited

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Felipe Reyes (freyes):

When restarting the puppetmaster process (via the service command, or
calling the initscript directly), the restart can fail if the original
process does not exit immediately. This is because the initscript is not
written to wait for the original process to exit.

In my testing under Trusty, adding "-R n" to the start-stop-daemon
command in the initscript fixed the problem. It's difficult to determine
an appropriate value for n, but it could be tunable via
/etc/default/puppetmaster. It's definitely a problem not to wait at all
for the process to exit.
