I have ran into things like this with services before. This is how I do. I stop the service, /etc/init.d/<name> stop. Then I make sure it is not still running somewhere. ps aux | grep <name> If nothing comes up but the grep command then it is not running. If something does come up then you need to kill it. I usually do killall <name>. If all is well, then zap it and restart the service. It should be a clean start. The only time you should have to reboot Linux is to start up a new kernel. Only windoze requires all that. I had a uptime of almost 10 months a while back and everything but the kernel was updated. I had done a emerge -e world at least twice. Hope that helps.
