that's the nature of race conditions :-) Some explanation why you see different behaviour between sysvinit and systemd: systemd internally translates "restart" to "stop + start", i.e. it calls /etc/init.d/foo stop && /etc/init.d/foo start. That's why the "sleep 1" hack is only active under sysvinit. I bet, if you removed the "sleep 1" in restart), you'd run into the same problem under sysvinit. In the end, those are just bugs in the sysv init scripts which are papered over by sprinkling a sleep here and there. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
