systemd supports auto-restart of services and nobody knows why it is not used as default while i have it for ANY service since Fedora 15 in production use yes, it's a workaround but it should work without user interaction and since i avoid NetworkManager and use the classical "network.service" with a static config nor have installed NM on anymachine............. * FIRST: systemctl disable dnsmasq.service * create /etc/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service * systemctl daemon-reload * systemctl enable dnsmasq.service * systemctl restart dnsmasq.service [root@proxy:~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service [Unit] Description=DNS caching server After=network.target network.service [Service] Type=forking EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/network ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq Restart=always RestartSec=1 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
