problem with start on started / stop on stopped

I believe I figured out my problem. A line in the watchdog conf file had
accidently become uncommented, and thus I had 2 "stop on" stanzas.
Looks like the last one wins. :-)

It's working now.

I'm getting the behavior that I want. When I do an "initctl restart 
application"
it stops the watchdog, stops the application, starts the application, 
starts
the watchdog. To get this behavior, I need to do an "initctl restart ..."
instead of "initctl emit ...", which isn't a big deal.

On a more general note, I have to say that a policy-based event-driven 
service manager is very elegant. Nice job.
