Description
Running the script /etc/init.d/gpsd with the restart option, causes the gpsd to be killed.
This is beacuse the script executes killall gpsd, actually killing itself before the new start.
A quick and dirty workaround is to rename the script as gpsdaemon or somthing alike.
I attach a modified version of the script that tries to retrieve the PID of the daemon before killing it.
Otherwise remove the restart option from the usage help.

@distro team: We should have start-stop-daemon in Om, we should use that for starting and stopping the daemons... Also grep "killall" /etc/init.d/* and adjust whatever else is using killall.

I had changed the gpsd daemon script to use start-stop-daemon in this commit 8d72ae1a103365f4042a82f0d59cbd0cf95a8c73
