Yes, because you're invoking a second instance of the daemon. All else flows from that; upon my quick inspection of the bgpctl man page doesn't seem to indicate that you can fire up the restricted socket during runtime. Magic 8 ball says the judicious use of pkill and bgpd_flags="-r /path/to/foo" is in your future.
