i need to stop the service , kill all remaining lcdproc or wait for all the process to die themselves, restart

Yes, that has been a problem for some time. The logic needs reviewing there.

Usually the server cannot start more than once as it fails to get access to the port and errors out but the client can. And having multiple clients connected to one server is valid in LCDproc so there is nothing to prevent it.
