.SH "NAME" ipsec-_plutorun - internal script to (re)start pluto on
old SYSV initscript systems
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP _plutorun is called by the ipsec initscript to configure
and bring up pluto(8). It invokes pluto, and watches to makes sure
that pluto is restarted if it fails, as the SYSV initscripts do not provide
a restart facility. When other init systems are used, such as systemd or
upstart, _plutorun is not used.
