[chef] Trouble reloading a service

[Allan Wind < >]

I am restarting a service with chef 0.10.4 along these lines:

template '/etc/logfmon.conf' do
        notifies :restart, 'service[logfmon]'
        ...
end


service 'logfmon' do
        action [:enable, :start]
        supports :reload => true, :restart => true, :status => false
end

and this works just fine:

 ** [out :: s2.leadkarma.com] [Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:13:39 +0000] INFO: 
template[/etc/logfmon.conf] sending restart action to service[logfmon] 
(delayed)
 ** [out :: s2.leadkarma.com] [Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:13:39 +0000] INFO: 
Processing service[logfmon] action restart (logfmon::default line 61)
 ** [out :: s2.leadkarma.com] [Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:13:39 +0000] DEBUG: 
service[logfmon] supports status, running
 ** [out :: s2.leadkarma.com] [Fri, 20 Jul 2012 23:13:40 +0000] INFO: 
service[logfmon] restarted

and my service is being called:

status
status
start
status
restart

It is weird that "supports ... :status => false" is not honored, but more 
trouble is that
changing the notifies :restart to :reload means that only these commands are 
issued to
my init script (i.e. not reload):

status
status
start
status

Any ideas?
