Hmm, we should either change bbehaviour of OnFailure, to only trigger after the star limit is hit, or introduce some option to make this configurable I guess.

There is apparently no way to start a special unit when the start limit is reached.

Totally missed those. Thanks. Will OnFailure= be activated when the limit is
hit? The manual only directly describes StartLimitAction= which isn’t exactly
what’s required

Hi,
There’s a routine need to support this scenario: a service runs that can fail
and needs to be restarted.
But if it just keeps failing it doesn’t make sense to keep restarting forever,
it’s just overhead and the system is stuck. So in that case 1) the service
needs to be left stopped in “failed” state, and 2) whatever failure action was
specified – that action needs to be run.
Ideally, need to be able to limit restarts to a number per period of time, such
as 3 restarts in 10 minutes, etc.
Sure, see StartLimit{Interval,Burst,Action}= in systemd.service(5).

[systemd-devel] a way to limit restarts?
Hi, There's a routine need to support this scenario: a service runs that can fail and needs to be restarted. But if it just keeps failing it doesn't make sense to keep restarting forever, it's just overhead and the system is stuck. So in that case 1) the service needs to be left stopped in "failed" state, and 2) whatever failure action was specified - that action needs to be run. Ideally, need to be able to limit restarts to a number per period of time, such as 3 restarts in 10 minutes, etc. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Alex ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
