See also bug #832029 before being in too much of a hurry to decide that this Must Be A Good Thing. At minimum, it currently seems that we might need per-service tuning of the restart timing parameters before being sure that enabling restart is safe. So while recommending that services enable this after suitable testing *might* be a good idea, turning it on by default seems like a horribly bad one. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
