OpenVPN not playing nice with systemd on 16.04LTS Server?

This is a copy of https://askubuntu.com/questions/928476/ ... lts-server

Systemd is not restarting my openvpn client session if it dies. Shouldn't it?

If the openvpn process dies for some reason, say, I kill it with SIGTERM, it does not restart. AUTOSTART="all" in /etc/defaults/openvpn.

Running stock but fully updated 16.04LTS.

Code: Select all

    $ systemd --version
    systemd 229
    +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN

    $ openvpn --version
    OpenVPN 2.3.10 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [EPOLL] [PKCS11]
