Title:
  Service restart fails because process has not exited

Status in puppetmaster package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
