Bryan Call commented on TS-1461:
--------------------------------

I agree with James on an exponential backoff.  Also, it would be nice to have some upper limit (60 seconds).  My first thought was for this to be a configurable option, but I don't see a case where you wouldn't want this to be de default logic.

> If there is a problem with the config and traffic_server doesn't start, traffic_manager still tries indefinitely to restart ATS.  This fills up the TS logs, /var/log/messages, and can send out hundreds of emails via proxy.config.alarm_email.
> Is it possible to have traffic_manager only attempt X number of restarts?  Or X number of restarts in a given period of time?
