So, restarting a service should not be silent (I think it isn't) and might need better alerts. Oh, don't the admin have the tools for this already (sendmail, motd, snmp, whatever)? I'm not pretending the current situation is perfect but if admins are tired to configure alerts on their own, it should not be that hard to improve and factorize efforts (at Gentoo at least, if not upstream). -- Nicolas Sebrecht
