Re: [Wrapper-user] restart tuning

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Anat,
    The ability to disable restarts does interest other users, this is 
why I added the
wrapper.disable_restarts property:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-disable-restarts.html

    The problem is that in your case, you would like a combination.  You 
would
like to allow one restart, if it was requested from the JVM, but no others.

    Let me think about it.  I may need a property to deal with all
non-WrapperManager.restart() restarts.

    Cheers,
    Leif
