Depends if restarting is making things worse it's not always the correct thing to do. You can change the systemd config to always restart it but this sort of fix is always because of another underlying problem and not a good sign. I'm old and not the biggest systemd fan or biggest knowledge about it. It is interesting seeing this thread. I can not see why cyrusd would not depend not network and FS to be up or any email service not depending on these 2 things working. -- Simon Loader auto resubscribed after leaving the cyrus mailing list 15 years ago :).
