By default, `restart` does exactly the same thing as `stop` followed by `start`.
`stop` will:
- execute `ExecStop=` commands, if any;
- send the signal defined by `KillSignal=` (default: `SIGTERM`), to any remaining processes identified by the `KillMode=`;
- send `SIGCONT` to those same processes;
- if `SendSIGHUP=` is true (default: false), send `SIGHUP` to those same processes;
- if `SendSIGKILL=` is true (default: true), and any processes remain after `TimeoutStopSec=`, send the `FinalKillSignal=` (default: `SIGKILL`) to those remaining processes;
- execute `ExecStopPost=` commands, if any.
`restart` changes this by using `RestartKillSignal=` instead of `KillSignal=`, but if `RestartKillSignal=` is not set it just inherits its value from `KillSignal=`. And, of course, `restart` then performs all the regular `start` actions after everything else. `restart` also differs from `stop` by not flushing the file descriptor store associated with the service.
