ensuring nginx always restarts

the service setup with systemd for file /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service was set up with a last line in the service block

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/nginx.pid
[...]
KillMode=mixed
Restart=always

to always restart. However, this line seems to have disappeared at some point in time. I seem to recall something about aliases, but the documentation does not specifically refer to them.

There are multiple users defined on the VPS and it is possible the nginx service file got somehow changed after adding a new user. (possible, as there was no implicit check immediately after; this is the only event of structural change - with certificate re-issuances - that come to mind)

Is there a way to ensure that the restart service remains stated?

Nginx rarely crashes, but when it does, this is always an issue in it's code that should be reported.
Nginx has a built-in mechanism to rotate it's logs, to test the configuration and to reload it on the fly.

Thus there's no need to ensure it's restarted when it crashes. You're solving an issue that doesn't exist.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
