Good point, but isn't it as easy to check the status before stopping it: "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/.... status"? You could even check the reported pid. If the status is in some way unclear to portupgrade, portupgrade could warn the user - "Service X not started again - unknown status". Or am I doing it too easy?
