The semantic of "restart only if you feel like it" is useless IMHO. YouIt isn't like this functionaliy is new. Most major daemons in existance implement this. Apache, MySQL, Postgres, Sendmail, I could go on.
either want a restart or you don't. If there's an error serious enough
to prevent shutdown, you want to look into it anyways. But since your
use-case apparently calls for this functionality, go ahead, do it, and
have fun ;) I'd probably -1 any proposed patches as useless bloat.
In fact Tomcat is the odd man out on this guy. Every single daemon on my Unix box implements this version of semantic control except Tomcat.
The major issue is for scripts. Even most major Linux distribution tools like the sysv init tools under KDE assume that scripts can do shutdown correctly or return an error code.
