Bug ID: 285001
Summary: service(8): clarify that -R does not use the restart
method for each service
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People

A patch to the service(8) manpage.
If a service, say foo, has overridden restart_cmd in its rc.d/foo file then
this will be effective when called with "service foo restart".
The service(8) command has a -R argument which purports to restart each
service. However, it actually calls "service foo stop" followed by "service
foo start", rendering the override of restart_cmd ineffective.
This is pretty niche, but can be simply clarified in the manpage. Patch
attached.
