You can always do a netstat -an|grep LISTEN|grep <portnumber> then "if found, wait 10 seconds" and try again before starting. Might not be the nicest solution , but could work for you.

Maybe try adding some delays to your reboot scripts so the daemon has a chance to shut down and a check to see if the process is closed before starting up a new server.
