Re: [gentoo-dev] Problems restarting services after they are stopped.

[Ken Stevenson]

I had a similar problem with several services when I was installing them
(bind, dhcpd). I didn't have the configuration files setup correctly, so the
services failed on startup. When I tried to restart them, I always got
the ".. has already been started" message and was unable to restart the service.
