What are you talking about?

- acdha 13y agoThat's unusafe in production: unless you have a very short-duration problem it'll retry a few times and then pretend you wanted the process stopped. Something like a down database or NFS server will still require you to restart everything in a cluster outside of upstart. They should have copied prior art from launchd or some inetd implementations where the delay has a back off mechanism with some configurable min/max limits.
- druiid 13y agoAgreed. The inability to specify a restart delay is just silly. It makes that functionality only useful for OOM type issues where the main process dies unexpectedly. Network transition type problems and you're going to have-a-bad-time.
- acdha 13y agoYeah – things like that or needing a number of major releases before getting reliable console support, setuid/gid, restart not implying start, etc. left me wondering if any actual sysadmins were involved in the development. Most of these would have been on my group's list of basic 1.0 requirements…
- CameronNemo 13y agoYou can specify a respawn delay. Please read the cookbook.
