Bug Description
The fwknop package can benefit greatly from upstart supervision.
First of it is generally deployed as a single point of failure with the side effect that a failing fwknopd will probably leave the machine unmanageable by eg. ssh. Second, the current 2.x release is fairly new and rewritten in another language (ported from Perl to C) and it's stability is not as proven as the older 1.x line.
Because of that, having upstart supervise the fwknopd process ("respawn") will provide at least ease of mind if not significantly reduce maintenance problems.
