A process crashing for any reason is currently immediately restarted, which in a lot of cases causes tight restart loops with multiple duplicate crash logs followed by the entire program going down (which btw goes again everything I expect from a server program). This proposition would give control on the process restart mechanism to avoid this issue. Ultimately the point is moot since the original proposition was for a feature which is configurable, so developers would be free to ignore it entirely. -- Nicolas Martyanoff http://snowsyn.net [email protected]
