When stunnel failed to start, the init script printed Error but still exited successfully. omd start therefore reported the site as started and returned exit code 0, although stunnel was not running.

The init script now exits with a failure in this case, so omd start and omd restart report the problem.

Note that stunnel is only started if you use Livestatus via TCP with TLS, or encrypted connections of the notification spooler.
