For a test, I made a little script fixsystemctl in /etc/cron.hourly

chksystemctl=`systemctl --state=failed | grep failed | cut -f 2 -d\  `
if [ -n "$chksystemctl" ] ; then
	date >>/var/log/chksystemctl
        echo $chksystemctl >>/var/log/chksystemctl
	systemctl restart $chksystemctl
fi

Been running it on 20 machines for about 24 hours, and generally each 
machine has a couple of items in the file, but a few still had the file empty.
