Hi!

Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name> skribis:

> would the shepherd maintaners (looking at you Ludo :) accept a change that introduces a new field into <service> called RESPAWN-DELAY, and issue a fiber sleep in RESPAWN-SERVICE when it is not #false, and the daemon process quits unexpectedly?

We could do that.  It never occurred to me that this is something one
would want to have though.  My reasoning is that if you mark a service
as respawnable, then you really want it to be respawned as soon as it
fails, not 5 seconds later.

Do you have a motivating example in mind (a daemon) to share?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
