Puppet agent can sometimes fail to restart:

<pre>
service puppet restart
 * Restarting puppet agent                                                      
                                         [ OK ] 
service puppet restart
 * Restarting puppet agent                                                      
                                         [fail] 
service puppet restart
 * Restarting puppet agent                                                      
                                         [ OK ] 
service puppet restart
 * Restarting puppet agent                                                      
                                         [fail] 
</pre>
The reason for this is that 'service puppet stop' does not actually ensure 
puppet is stopped, and 1 sec is not enough to stop it completely in some cases, 
so start fails:

<pre>
[...]
    restart|force-reload)
        log_begin_msg "Restarting $DESC"
        stop_puppet_agent
        sleep 1
        start_puppet_agent
</pre>

The init script is badly written (--stop does **not** wait for the process to 
stop), stop should be doing something on the lines of:

<pre>
        start-stop-daemon --stop --retry TERM/10 --quiet --oknodo --pidfile 
$PIDFILE
</pre>

The above sleep 1 can then be removed.
