We're talking about libc6.postinst start-stop code (line:264). We don't execute start-stop-daemon directly. So I think --retry option issue is out of scope. Some /etc/init.d restart code does not use --retry. "inetd", "lpd", and so on. So I think we can't guarantee daemon restart exactly. Instead, we use workaound technique; stop, wait 2 seconds, and start. It's sure that we might submit bugs for those restarting-daemons to support --retry option, though. Regards, -- gotom
