It can check the exit status.  Normal shutdowns typycally exit with
status 0.  zdaemon (and supervisor2, which was obviously inspired by
zdaemon) has an exit-codes option to configure which exit codes
are normal.  If the supervisor exists with one of these exit codes,
it should not be restarted.

i see. however, i guess the idea of a supervisor is just for such cases: to take care to restart a server that broke. there's "svc -o" to run a service only "once", which comes handy if one is not sure if the server will survive a start.

Yes

what i think to make more sense would be that the supervisor could detect if a server is restarted too frequently. in my experience, thats more often a situation that needs special attention.

Yes, that's a case that zdaemon and supervistor2 handle.

Yu also want an application to be able to exit normally
without being restarted.
