The service uacctd.service cannot restart correctly and is killed by timeout.
Then start and doesn't have the correct permission to the pid
To reproduce:
set system flow-accounting interface 'eth3' set system flow-accounting netflow engine-id '53' set system flow-accounting netflow server 192.0.2.11 port '2055' set system flow-accounting netflow version '10' commit set system flow-accounting disable-imt commit
