Hello,

If boa is not running,
/etc/init.d/boa restart fails:
yellowpig# /etc/init.d/boa stop
Stopping HTTP server: Boa.
yellowpig# /etc/init.d/boa restart
Restarting HTTP server: Boa. Boa not running!  Not attempting restart.

restart must always start the service, even if it is no more running.

Also the /etc/init.d script look very old.  Please find an updated
version at the end.

Cheers,
Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
