Description of problem: /etc/rc.d/init.d/wpa_supplicant reads: case "$1" in ... condrestart|try-restart) [ -f $lockfile ] || restart ;; ... This is wrong. condrestart (or try-restart) is supposed to restart a service as long as it's running. So, it should read either: [ -f $lockfile ] && restart or: [ ! -f $lockfile ] || restart See the other /etc/rc.d/init.d/* scripts.
trivial fix, could do for 5.2
