bug reports I receive as I don't (usually) get frantic phone calls at
3am UK time because a server in Texas terminated itself for some
reason. Instead, I can collect the core file as soon as I get around to
that and fix the bug.
NB: I deal with appliances (as developer) and not with servers (as
sysadmin).
So, for example, would something like daemontools be what you use with
your field deployed software?
I certainly wouldn't use "something like daemontools" for anything but
that's a completely different conversation (my present idea for 'server
management' is to implement whatever I need in form of relatively simple
'do one thing and do it well' C programs which can be combined freely to
create complex program invocation commands).
OTOH, I am convinced that 'automatic restarts' is a sensible policy,
especially for background infrastructure servers, as these are usually
invisible to users unless they manifest themselves in form of "the
internet doesn't work".
I understand your position.
Maybe, maybe not. Rather not, actually. But that's not really important.

I am not the author of apache. So I am not going to make assumptions
about when it can or cannot be automatically restarted safely.
Unless you modify the code, you are (as I already explained) not in the
position to decide this

So I understand you are not really discussing this for the benefit of
Devuan but rather to discuss. Thanks for the chat. Take it easy!
