This is Corvus Corax, I unfortunately stepped into exactly that "Very Bad Thing"(tm)
when porting some automatic re-connection scripts
(where net-dependant services had to be restarted partially)
to a slower machine, wher "restart" was just too fast for the services, to come down
i had to do it via "xxx stop && sleep 5 && xxx start"
the problem is, a "net.eth0 restart" for example would re-start all net - dependant services, too.
with a "stop -- start" they dont come up again automaticaly, so i have to handle each running service
manually, status confirmed as "very evil, very nasty thing" (tm)
