ok, that (sort of :-) makes sense then. Is there a way to accomplish
what I need: start if stopped, restart if started? 

The only thing I could think of was to stop and then start, but hey if
I can shave some time off the running time I'm all ears :-)

Ahhh just saw your next reply about CHEF-361. Sweet! (Just in case you
forgot, the fix for CHEF-269 is probably less than 5 min ;-)

In this case, yes. What was missing from the log entries was a log entry
I inserted just after the checksums were compared and found equal. Also
note how the log entries doesn't contain anything between the 100% entry
and the restart entry.
