Bug#920847: init-d-script: add do_restart_prepare and do_reload_prepare handlers

[Mathieu Mirmont]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.93-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

My package uses init-d-script and relies on defining a custom
"do_start_prepare" function to prevent starting the daemon if a
specific file exists.

While this works fine, it fails when the init.d script is invoked with
"restart" or "reload". In this case the "do_start_prepare" function is
not called. There doesn't seem to be a similar mechanism for "restart"
and "reload". This makes my init.d script significantly more
complicated to implement (cleanly).

Please consider the attached patch.

Cheers,

Mat.
