What happens when dnsmasq is restarted?

Likely need to protect from stats going negative.

Testing some code that is supposed to do this safely.

Looks like it's working.

If dnsmasq is stopped - goshe runs as normal and doesn't crash.

It's because:

1. We can't find any processes to restart.
2. The restart code handles that properly and doesn't freak out.
3. We don't get any stats - but that's OK - we don't have to restart goshe.
