They must have "forgot it".

An openvpn client service have the same importance as the login program.
So it should be restarted (with some backoff strategy maybe).

A system service of this importance should *always* be restarted after
a krash! We had to send out service personell to all our client machines
(about 20) just because of this. Costly!
