That idea about "restarting" has never compiled for me.  If a service
has died then may be there's a bigger problem what can't be solved with
restarting already dead service?  And what if it dies again?  Then if
other service "depends" on the dead service (what's in
start-died?-restart cycle) it should be restarted too, right?
