-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> External SSH service under systemd fails to restart if several restarts are
> rapidly attempted

> Project: VCL

> I have seen this occur on server requests when multiple users are added in a
> short amount of time. The ext_sshd service is restarted every time a user is
> added. There is some threshold in systemd that prevents this, causing the
> service to stop and not restart without waiting for a few seconds.
> This is the error:
> {noformat}
> [root@bn17-97 ~]# service ext_sshd restart
> Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart ext_sshd.service
> [root@bn17-97 ~]# service ext_sshd restart
> Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart ext_sshd.service
> [root@bn17-97 ~]# service ext_sshd restart
> Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart ext_sshd.service
> [root@bn17-97 ~]# service ext_sshd restart
> Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart ext_sshd.service
> [root@bn17-97 ~]# service ext_sshd restart
> Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart ext_sshd.service
> Job for ext_sshd.service failed because start of the service was attempted
> too often. See "systemctl status ext_sshd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
> details.
> To force a start use "systemctl reset-failed ext_sshd.service" followed by
> "systemctl start ext_sshd.service" again.
> {noformat}
> When this occurs, users can't connect to the reservation. There is currently
> no code that detects or corrects this.
> Options could be added to the systemd service file created in
> {{systemd.pm::add_ext_sshd_service}}.
> From the _systemd.service_ man page:
> {panel}
> StartLimitInterval=, StartLimitBurst=
> Configure service start rate limiting. By default, services which
> are started more than 5 times within 10 seconds are not permitted to start
> any more times until the 10 second interval ends. With these two options,
> this rate limiting may
> be modified. Use StartLimitInterval= to configure the checking
> interval (defaults to DefaultStartLimitInterval= in manager configuration
> file, set to 0 to disable any kind of rate limiting). Use StartLimitBurst= to
> configure how many
> starts per interval are allowed (defaults to
> DefaultStartLimitBurst= in manager configuration file). These configuration
> options are particularly useful in conjunction with Restart=; however, they
> apply to all kinds of starts (including
> manual), not just those triggered by the Restart= logic. Note that
> units which are configured for Restart= and which reach the start limit are
> not attempted to be restarted anymore; however, they may still be restarted
> manually at a later
> point, from which point on, the restart logic is again activated.
> Note that systemctl reset-failed will cause the restart rate counter for a
> service to be flushed, which is useful if the administrator wants to manually
> start a service and
> the start limit interferes with that.
> StartLimitAction=
> Configure the action to take if the rate limit configured with
> StartLimitInterval= and StartLimitBurst= is hit. Takes one of none, reboot,
> reboot-force, reboot-immediate, poweroff, poweroff-force or
> poweroff-immediate. If none is set,
> hitting the rate limit will trigger no action besides that the
> start will not be permitted. reboot causes a reboot following the normal
> shutdown procedure (i.e. equivalent to systemctl reboot). reboot-force
> causes a forced reboot which
> will terminate all processes forcibly but should cause no dirty
> file systems on reboot (i.e. equivalent to systemctl reboot -f) and
> reboot-immediate causes immediate execution of the reboot(2) system call,
> which might result in data loss.
> Similar, poweroff, poweroff-force, poweroff-immediate have the
> effect of powering down the system with similar semantics. Defaults to none.
