[Bug 378788] [NEW] ushare init script restart action failed

[Ludwin Janvier]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm using ushare Version : 1.1a-0ubuntu3 and jaunty with an old 1.3GHz
laptop.

When I try to restart ushare daemon :
$ sudo invoke-rc.d ushare restart
 * Stopping uShare UPnP A/V & DLNA Media Server: ushare                                                    [ OK ]
 * Starting uShare UPnP A/V & DLNA Media Server: ushare                                                    [ OK ]

I have no error, but a :
$ ps -ef|grep ushare
   14665  9175  0 20:21 pts/3    00:00:00 grep ushare
shows me that ushare is not restarted.

However, start and stop actions are working great when ran separately.

So I had a lookup in other init scripts : 
samba's restart's section is like :
                $0 stop
                sleep 1
                $0 start

So if I use this little trick in /etc/init.d/ushare, ie if I add a dirty
"sleep 1" between stop and start, the ushare's restart action works
fine.

I don't post a patch for this bug, it would be something like ;
72a73
>     sleep 1
