Description of problem:
Stopping and starting Katello is difficult today with our current init system that leverage rc scripts to start and stop services. It would be helpful if katello included one master rc script that could be leveraged to stop, start, restart all.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. service katello-all [stop|start|restart]
Additional info:
This would be very useful in cases of upgrades as well where services must be stopped first.
Also, worth considering a stop and start services call to katello-upgrade so the sys admin doesn't have to think about this.
Rather than sysvinit service, I'd stick with approach of having a script /sbin/katello-service.
Pulp is using this concept of "meta service" and it's causing pains in the puppet.
Satellite has the separate script and I think it works well.
