Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Do a appc appcd restart in the command prompt.

Actual results:

1. The daemon does not restart (Not sure if it does restart internally, but gives wrong message that it didn't in the terminal).

2. It also keeps on adding appcd-plugin-host processes after each restart command run. These processes stay running & consume memory. (Attached a screenshot for reference).

Expected results:

1. Daemon should restart successfully every time command is run & should not keep on adding new appcd-plugin-host processes or kill/stop the old ones.

I am able to reproduce this issue. I need to run: killall -9 appcd-plugin-host to successfully kill all the running append-plugin-host processes.

Verified the fix with Daemon 1.0.1. Doing a appc appcd restart does restart daemon & does not spin up extra appcd-plugin-host processes. The old processes are killed & new ones are started. Closing.
