almost all daemons have such a switch and if one does not then we can add one - upstream will accept such a patch imho > 2) Runit will respawn a service if it dies, no matter what.

There is no system of "if it dies x > times within y > minutes, give up for z minutes" hm. init handles this in the following way: try to start 5 times, then sleep for 5 mins (maybe the numbers are configurable) if runit does not have such a feature, then i would suggest mail the author if he likes such a feature or not. if yes, then we could request this feature or create a patch for it then send it to the author udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
