    I am testing CMM8 with some test sites.
    I notice that the following Nginx systemd parameter is included
    (seems to be already present in CMM7 since April 2022).


    Why is an interval of 30 included?
    If you want to quickly tweak and adjust something in the config and then restart.
    You can go wait for 30 seconds. Because of the limit set earlier.

    Looking at Red Hat upstream Nginx. Then no limit is included.

    Why is there a limit included?

    FYI as 130.00beta01 isn't the primary branch on Github searching might be easier via Sourcegraph for 130.00beta01 i.e. StartLimitInterval and Github Blame for inc/nginx_install.inc for this is centminmod/inc/nginx_install.inc at 130.00beta01 · centminmod/centminmod related commit add systemd service auto restart for nginx, php-fpm & redis · centminmod/centminmod@67b07bf

    Ah yes I can see that being problematic after 3 manual Nginx restarts successively. AFAIK default is 5 restarts in 10 seconds without my added settings to support automatic service restart on service failures.
    Code (Text):
    journalctl -xe --no-pager | egrep -v 'Blocked' | sed -e "s|$HOSTNAME|hostname|g" | tail -20

    Maybe raising the StartLimitBurst from 2 to 10 or something?

    FYI, just updated 130.00beta01 to raise that value from 2 to 15 so up to 15 manual restarts in 30 second interval should work. That's like 1 restart every 2 seconds - I don't think end users are that fast at config change + restarts :D

    3 or 5. As 10 or even 15 almost sounds like a semi loop. Should there really be a software / hardware error.

    Makes sense. Just updated to lower it back from 15 to 5 :)
