I can confirm that the schoolbell server sometimes does not restart but
in my case it is a race condition in the initscript where the previous
server has not exited before start-stop-daemon tries to start it again.

Would you mind testing the attached patch for /etc/init.d/schoolbell to
see if it solves your problem as well?
