about dnscrypt's windows service

[galpt]

I saw inside the dnscrypt-proxy/windows that service-restart.bat is using dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service stop and dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service start instead of dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service restart.
If this is expected, what's the difference if we just use dnscrypt-proxy.exe -service restart?

-service restart restarts the service after a configuration change; i.e. the service should be already running.
