this is one of the things i am missing to replace my self written scripts because
they rely on "netstat -l" and so a service with a running process which is
a zombie not doing its work is detected

* wait 5 seconds if it comes back (happens often on several sverices)
* if not "/sbin/service  svc stop"; killall processname; /sbin/service svc start

i would really love to have a standard method for such things and since
systemd is well thought from the design i think there should be options for
this in service-files

call them however you want

* listening-port
* listening-interface
* restart=notlisten

port/interface is important because some things are only on local-host or
on a vpn-server you will as example not bind a internal smb on the
vpn-interface
