I explained it bad. English is not my "default" language. :)
What I mean is:
- If the automatic restart of the service is defined by the
administrator, the service should restart by default.
- So, It shouldn't be necessary to register the service with --neverexits.
- But if the administrator defines the autorestart option, the
service should be aware of it.
I hope you understand me.
