Specifying Restart Parameters

The Restart Parameters dialog lets you specify information the keepalive system uses when it restarts a monitored process. Specify the following information:

Daemon Location
This required field is the complete path name to the process to be restarted. The Browse button is available for selecting the process from available files.

Arguments
Use this field to specify command line arguments to the process. The process will be restarted with these arguments. The default set of arguments is nothing.

User
Use this drop-down list to specify the user id (uid) for the process. The default information in this field is the uid value from the /etc/password file.

Group
Use this drop-down list to specify the group id (gid) for the process. The default information in this field is the gid value from the /etc/groups file.

Probation Period
Use this field to specify the amount of time in seconds for keepalive to wait for the process to reach the error limit. If the error limit is reached in this time period, keepalive stops restarting this process. The default time is 300 seconds.

Error Limit
Use this field to specify the maximum number of errors that can occur before keepalive should stop restarting this process. The default number of errors is 10.

Term Wait
Use this field to specify how many seconds the process can use to shut down before keepalive terminates it. The default is two seconds.

Respawn Time
Use this field to specify the number of seconds keepalive waits before restarting a process that exits or fails. If the process fails or exits in less than the specified number of seconds, keepalive waits this amount of time before restarting the process.

Current Daemon/Process Tag
Retained from the Node Selection screen, this field contains the name of the current configuration file set.
