This doesn't work as intended, because it relies on
/usr/bin/opento launch BitTorrent Sync. Because of that, launchd will only re-launch the app if/usr/bin/openreturns error status when the app crashes. But it returns 0 in that case, so on an app crash, launchd still sees a successful exit. A working version would have to launch BitTorrent Sync directly so as to pick up its crash status. I uploaded one version of this at https://gist.github.com/atomicbird/ff2de46a594cdb5c8e69
