Re: git commit: init:restart() is evil, /_restart is evil, kill -9 is awesome

actually shouldn't it be kill -QUIT rather ?  kill -9 isn't catchable
by the vm and may leak from time to time.

Good point about -9 being a bit too hard here. -QUIT didn’t actually
terminate the VM, so I tried -TERM. Seems to do the job :)

Also, I kept _restart, injecting a run_on_modified_server there didn’t
really work out.
