I cannot restart openhab2 (final) via sudo /etc/init.d/openhab2 restart.
Starting and stopping separately works.

Hi @christoph_wempe, I’ve opened up an issue for you at "/etc/init.d/openhab2 restart" does not restart · Issue #28 · openhab/openhab-linuxpkg · GitHub, I’ve been fairly busy over the week but I hope to get a chance to test on Saturday, any PR requests to fix the issue are welcome.

Hi @maxplay and all, this should be fixed in the latest snapshots. See Pull Request #31.

If you don’t want to upgrade to unstable, you should be able replace /etc/init.d/openhab2 with this version. Make sure you backup the old one first, just in case!
