for some value of fine. service my_service restart required writing 100+ shell scripts, each of which was error prone and difficult.

  But also 100% not my problem :)

    If one of those scripts forgets to kill a process's children (because the process itself was supposed to handle that), and a server ends up with a bazillion orphaned processes, then it could well become your problem! This happened to me once. Never again, damn it.

      What stopped you from spawning the daemon in a cgroup?

        I didn't know about them at the time, and I wasn't the one who wrote the script that spawned it.
