I'm against this change. The database (PostgreSQL, Oracle XE) is
completely independent from the Spacewalk software product and the
spacewalk-service script should have no business fiddling with them.

If for some reason (what reason, exactly?) you need to restart
everything with one script, why not write a wrapper around it?
