Humm, I really wonder what the benefit of placing these lines here
is. What does it buy you?

A sane daemon should do a syntax check anyway when starting (and exit if
it fails), so why do you do another one before? Unless there's a really
good reason for it this just complicates things, makes things slower,
and duplicates everything.
