for example the old one is hopelessly broken at the logical level.
Work needs to be resumed from a previously backed up known working
state.

The system backs up databases and other things at scheduled intervals,
and the user needs to be able to restore a backup at any time. In
order to do that I need to kick off all applications, which I can do
in application-specific ways for those I know. Those I haven't thought
about in advance, like FlameRobin, are a corner case but I'd like to
be able to handle it.

I can easily imagine other cases in which you might want to kick off
everyone and replace the database. Is there no other way than shutting
down fbserver to achieve that on Linux?

Ciao
