Graceful shutdown and restart of INN

I recall being bitten by this scenario years ago; whereby, if for some 
reason INND dies and you have rc.news and innwatch running, you can 
create a real snafu by trying to bring it back into a sane startup.

I've long forgotten how delicate this is - and I ran into this a couple 
of times tonight.  Once where "ctlinnd" froze up when I tried to restart 
all.

Anyone some docs about how to gracefully kill off dead processes and 
restart this subsystem without resorting to drastic measures like rebooting.
