Description of problem:

Simple put: ipactl restart does not work if current ipa server status is
"stop".
The following message will print:
Failed to read data from Directory Service: Failed to get list of services to
probe status:
Directory Server is stopped
Shutting down


test shows:
1. if ipa server is running currently, "ipactl restart" will success
2. if ipa server is stopped currently, "ipactl restart" will fail, however,
"ipactl start" will success
