Comment 6 for bug 1516341

If all we are doing is restarting the service if it dies, it seems like much easier solutions exist. Here are just a few. You also have the ability with upstart and systemd to respawn a service, but... I know that keystone/apache, rabbitmq, memcached and galera still use the older sysvinit scripts which may make this difficult on ubuntu/upstart OSs.
