Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Since two weeks we lost our keepalived VRRP address on on our of systems, closer inspection reveals that this was due to the daily cronjob.Apparently something triggered a udev reload (and last week the same seemed to happen) which obviously triggers a network restart.

Are we right in assuming the below patch is the correct way (and shouldn't this be in the default install of the systemd service of keepalived).
