For a fun retelling of the events (I think this only works on Firefox): http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/jeu.php?id_proces=57684

That thing is unbelievably more awesome than I would otherwise have assumed. Who made this (and part 2)? How can I find out if any more parts are made?

Apparently it was made by Dainius Masiliūnas (http://greatemerald.xmpcommunity.com/), who seems to be active in the Phoronix forums: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/member.php?17103-GreatEmerald

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's unusafe in production: unless you have a very short-duration problem it'll retry a few times and then pretend you wanted the process stopped. Something like a down database or NFS server will still require you to restart everything in a cluster outside of upstart. They should have copied prior art from launchd or some inetd implementations where the delay has a back off mechanism with some configurable min/max…

Agreed. The inability to specify a restart delay is just silly. It makes that functionality only useful for OOM type issues where the main process dies unexpectedly. Network transition type problems and you're going to have-a-bad-time.

You can specify a respawn delay. Please read the cookbook.
