[Openvpn-devel] [PATCH] systemd: Enable systemd's auto-restart feature for server profiles

[David S. <da...@op...>]

Systemd supervises services it has started and can act upon unexpected
scenarios.  This change will restart OpenVPN after 5 seconds if the OpenVPN
process exits unexpectedly.

The on-failure mode is the recommended mode by upstream systemd.

This change have been tested on a test server for some month, and it
works indeed as intended when provoking the OpenVPN process to stop.
