Wouldn't be easier to have the quarks location passed in as a command line
argument rather than requiring an evironment variable set elsewhere?
> Start over Quarks when Quarks crashes (Linux)
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QUARKS-13
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QUARKS-13
> Project: Quarks
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Runtime
> Reporter: Victor Dogaru
> Assignee: Victor Dogaru
> Labels: failure-recovery
>
> Thinking of a mechanism which restarts the Quarks application if the JVM
> running Quarks hangs or closes unexpectedly. These options come to mind:
> - Write a script which checks for the pid of the jvm process running Quarks
> and restarts Quarks if the pid is not there. Run the script every minute
> using a cron job.
> - Setup Quarks app to run as a Linux service. Use inittab or systemd to
> manage Linux services and have options to restart a managed process
> automatically.
> There is also the hardware option. Embedded platforms frequently rely on
> watchdog hardware that resets it automatically if software stops periodically
> signalling the hardware that it is still alive.
> Anyone have any thoughts on this?
