Apparently exec su -l gert -c 'export DISPLAY=:0; /data/location/server/process' method no longer works under Ubuntu 17.04. What is the new method for restarting a process after it dies...

Ubuntu 17.04 uses systemd for managing processes that previously were managed in Ubuntu by Upstart.

Specifically, the systemd systemctl command is now used to start/stop/restart systemd services (e.g., sudo systemctl start dms3client.service). The systemctl command does a bunch more too.

Here's a great explanation of how to use systemctl right here on askbuntu.com: https://askubuntu.com/a/903360/32664.
