Description
Description
Adding -w option to frr_global_options field in /etc/frr/daemons prevents frr from starting. It appears that the watchfrr daemon doesn't have a -w option which is causing the service to fail.

How to reproduce
Add -w option to frr_global_options field in /etc/frr/daemons.
Expected behavior
The frr service should start, allowing the user to create network namespace VRFs.
Actual behavior
The entire frr service fails. It appears that the watchfrr daemon doesn't have a -w option which is causing the service to fail.
