Re: Respawn limit for runsv?

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@oddbit.com>]

My first stab at a respawn limiter is available here:

  http://www.oddbit.com/software/respawn/respawn.tar.gz

This is a very simple implementation of a respawn limiter as a wrapper
program; you run it like this:

  respawn -- /my/program

If /my/program starts more than m times in n seconds (default 10 times in
120 seconds), respawn will sleep for x seconds (defaults 300).  Respawn
keeps a table of start times in a file called 'spawntab' in its current
working directory.

It ain't pretty, but it appears to work.

Let me know what you think.
