This is related to the script proposed by @Emzy on the Bitcoin #fullnode project: MrChrisJ/fullnode#4 (comment)

Two lines have been added to give the user the choice of auto restarting bitcoin after 30 seconds or just a simple autostart at boot. This is because in some cases the user may opt to run Bitcoin-QT in the GUI and therefore will not require bitcoind to restart after bitcoin-cli stop command necessary to start QT.
