Ah, OK - that works better. I'd set ticker_interval to 0 as foo.sh would normally be a long-running process (i was expecting to end up with multiple copies running if i set it to something else).
My confusion about the retries came from this bit of the doc: "In the event the program returns a non-zero exit code, ProcessInput will stop" Which implied the plugin itself would also stop (and be subjected to the retries) if my command exited with a non-zero status.
