No. But there's already /etc/network/if-up.d/nslcd. This script does 
nothing, if nslcd died before. But may be it could check if the service 
should have been started and start it in this case.

As far as I found out, systemd has a target called 'network-online'. 
Maybe this could be used within a nslcd systemd service file. But I 
don't know if this would really solve the problem and I don't know 
enough about systemd.

Yes: nslcd-restart, more or less copy + sed from autofs-reload. This 
works like expected _now_. But it caused the system to hang at the stage 
'raising network interface' in the case of failing NFS mount; seemed to 
be a dead end street for me. I had to use 'init=/bin/sh' on the kernel 
command line to be able to remove the hook script.
