Details

Description: When killing the Network Manager daemon, the init script simply sends the kill signal and assumes the daemon is dead. In fact, the daemon takes several seconds to die after it receives the kill signal. When issuing a restart, the init script does not wait long enough for the daemon to die, so the start fails.

Steps to reproduce:
# /etc/rc.d/networkmanager stop
:: Stopping NetworkManager [DONE]
# /etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
:: Starting NetworkManager [FAIL]
# sleep 10; /etc/rc.d/networkmanager start
:: Starting NetworkManager [DONE]

Solution:
Make these changes to /etc/rc.d/networkmanager to ensure that the stop command waits until the daemon is dead:

> while [ ! -z "$PID" ]; do
> PID=`pidof -o %PPID $NETWORKMANAGER_BIN`
> sleep 1
> done
>

< sleep 1
