Considering the criticality of logging, maybe the old behavior should be kept:
the script should attempt to start both daemon regardless of if any of them fails.

This does not need to be complicated:

local err=0
start-stop-daemon --overlong-options || err=$?
start-stop-another-daemon --more-overlong-options || err=$?
if [ "$err" != 0 ]; then
    echo OK
else
    echo FAIL
    return $err
fi

I think we shouldn't hide the fact that we are restarting the daemon instead of
reloading it.
