<div>I’ve been having the same issue with Ubuntu, thankfully we have access to Upstart:</div>

<div>I removed the default init script and switched over to Upstart. Restarts will occur as soon as the process dies. Save the job as “/etc/init/tinc.conf”. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I have tinc 1.1pre11 running on various routers and linux cloud servers. On one of the cloud servers, under Ubuntu 12.04, tinc is mysteriously dying once in
a while, leaving a dangling PID. I have been unable to track down why it is dying, but it happens infrequently enough that I care less about why it is dying than how to robustly respawn it when it dies.<br>
<br>
Before I re-invent the wheel, has anyone come up with a solution for automatically detecting a dead tincd and respawning the process on linux?<br>
