Look up the page a little: long-running processes that take a long time to exit after SIGKILL, but eventually get there. You want to restart them, but only after they exit, and there's a big time gap between KILL and exit.

Then create a separate service responsible for the restart. Activate it on initial service's failure.

Duh.

I'm sorry, but could you possibly be a little more contemptuous? It's not unpleasant enough to read this comment thread yet.
