- colechristensen 7y agoI am in the camp of having systemd or your service manager of choice restart any killed service or service failing health check and emitting an ERROR or higher log message. I want my systems to heal themselves. More often than not these memory problems end up being slow leaks which can be effectively permanently resolved with periodic restarts, and the engineering time to fix them is appropriately not prioritized. I want to know that there has been a problem but I would rather not be forced to do anything about it unless absolutely necessary.
