Bug Description

I initially ran into this in lucid, but was able to verify the problem is still the same in precise

$ sudo service icecc restart
 * Restarting distributed compiler daemon iceccd [ OK ]
 * Restarting distributed compiler scheduler icecc-scheduler [ OK ]
$ sudo service icecc start
 * Starting distributed compiler daemon iceccd [fail]

From the above it's obvious the problem is that the program is already running. ssh has a better error message and it would be good if icecc had the same.

$ sudo service ssh start
start: Job is already running: ssh

I suppose icecc hasn't been fully converted to upstart, yet
