Created attachment 187002 [details] New rc script that references the command interpreter, and that adds a reload target. The rc script does not reference the command interpreter (perl) and thus does not shut down the service. I've created a new script which addresses this issue, and which adds a reload target (to HUP the service). New script and patch attached.
