Configuration Details:
Option Name: hopeless_kid_revival_delay
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: hopeless_kid_revival_delay 1 hour
Suggested Config:
Normally, when a kid process dies, Squid immediately restarts the kid. A kid experiencing frequent deaths is marked as “hopeless” for the duration specified by this directive. Hopeless kids are not automatically restarted. Currently, zero values are not supported because they result in misconfigured SMP Squid instances running forever, endlessly restarting each dying kid. To effectively disable hopeless kids revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year). Reconfiguration also clears all hopeless kids designations, allowing for manual revival of hopeless kids.
