I kind of ran into the same problem some time ago. I switched to a 
patched version of killall (wich is issued bei /etc/init.d/signals or 
something like that). This patched version allows one to specify 
programs to be excluded from killall so that enbd-client can keep 
running. Ultimately, i think i've put the whole thing into a debian 
package to avoid getting into trouble after a debian upgrade - but i've 
to double-check that first before i can make any serious comments ;)
