NetworkManager.service has Restart=on-failure, but if something sends
SIGTERM to NetworkManager then it exits with status 0.

Anyway, this user expects NetworkManager expects NM to be up & the
network to be available, solely except when NetworkManager.service is
stopped via systemd.

So can NetworkManager.service be changed to use Restart=always?

I personally prefer, if NetworkManager is only restarted on failures.


See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773213




Thankfully, this is quite simple with systemd.

If someone explicitly killed NetworkManager via SIGTERM, they probably expect NM to stay down. If you can convince NM upstream, that always is a better default, I'll update the Debian package accordingly though. Another alternative is, that you create a drop-in snippet locally for NetworkManager.service and adjust the behavior to your liking.
