Doh! My answer focused on my interests rather than your question. Sorry. By restart, I now assume you mean system restart… TIKA-894 should help with that if you configure your server container (tomcat?) to automatically start/restart.

This is an interest close to my heart, and I look forward to hearing how others are handling this.

How do you keep tika-server running? A daemon manager like daemon tools? Handcrafted init.d/upstart/systemd scripts? Is anyone able to share what they use? Thanks, Peter
