I definitely agree that we should improve on how the daemon is started
and stopped. Rafal, I think your approach makes sense, and if we can
equip our DBUS ABI with exit() that would make sense too.

I was under the impression though that twistd itself could solve these
issues with --start --stop and --reload, but I think we want to make
the script handle this, that is fine.

Thanks, Rafal!
