It's a Gentoo thing. Gentoo starts/stops/restarts services with commands like /etc/init.d/servicename start/stop/restart The init scripts won't start if the process is in a "Running" state, which is monitored by the init script. Running /etc/init.s/servicename zap resets the state to "Not running" for those times when you know better than the system.
