Yes. I know. I wrote that.
But for a resource that pacemaker expects to be "started", both mean
that something happened, and the resource is no longer in the target
state. e.g., recovery kicks in. In theory, the only action that
OCF_NOT_RUNNING would allow us to skip is the "stop" action before
starting it elsewhere, but we do that anyway as a safety measure.
There's also a difference in how pacemaker handles this in response to
the initial monitor_0 / probe.

I still don't understand what you want.
You want "failures" (i.e., rc != 0 or 7) to be ignored, but "stopped" to
be restarted? You can't do that without modifying the resource agent.
