NAME

       ipsec-_plutorun - internal script to (re)start pluto on old SYSV initscript systems

DESCRIPTION

       _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.

SEE ALSO

       ipsec(8), ipsec-setup(8), pluto(8).
