respawn delay

[Zoran Bosnjak]

Hello all,
I just want to check if there is any way to insert a delay (a few
seconds), between respawn attempts.

In case of some strange service crash (for example some missing
resource) the service is probably going to crash again very soon and
upstart would give up after detecting "respawning too fast". The user
will end up with stopped service even when the missing resource is back.

Something like additional stanza "respawn delay <seconds>" would be very
usefull, to make upstart more general. But I am new ot upstart and there
might be some obvious solution to this problem, so I would appreciate
any answer.

I have scanned over mail archives and I have only found some patch
proposals, but nothing in the official documentation.

Thank you for your answers.

Zoran
