Managing Serviceguard Eighteenth Edition, September 2010

service_restart
The number of times Serviceguard will attempt to re-run the service_cmd. Valid values
are unlimited, none or any positive integer value. Default is none.
If the value is unlimited, the service will be restarted an infinite number of times. If
the value is none, the service will not be restarted.
This parameter is in the package control script for legacy packages.
service_fail_fast_enabled
Specifies whether or not Serviceguard will halt the node (system reset) on which the
package is running if the service identified by service_name fails. Valid values are yes
and no. Default is no, meaning that failure of this service will not cause the node to
halt. yes is not meaningful if service_restart is set to unlimited.
service_halt_timeout
The length of time, in seconds, Serviceguard will wait for the service to halt before
forcing termination of the service’s process. The maximum value is 4294.
The value should be large enough to allow any cleanup required by the service to
complete.
If no value is specified, a zero timeout will be assumed, meaning that Serviceguard
will not wait any time before terminating the process.
resource_name
The name of a resource to be monitored.
resource_name, in conjunction with resource_polling_interval, resource_start and
resource_up_value, defines an Event Monitoring Service (EMS) dependency.
In legacy packages, RESOURCE_NAME in the package configuration file requires a
corresponding DEFERRED_RESOURCE_NAME in the package control script.
You can find a list of resources in Serviceguard Manager (Configuration -> Create
Package -> Monitored Resources -> Available EMS resources), or in
the documentation supplied with the resource monitor.
A maximum of 60 EMS resources can be defined per cluster. Note also the limit on
resource_up_value (see below).
The maximum length of the resource_name string is 1024 characters.
See “Parameters for Configuring EMS Resources” (page 178) for more information and
example.
