Manage service recovery options to avoid service restart loop

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

If the sshd service fails to start it will not fail as all service recovery options are set to restart the service. This creates a loop of service restarts. As every service restart is logged - the event log will be filled with service restart log events ~ 1000 log entries per minute

PS C:\> sc qfailure sshd
[SC] QueryServiceConfig2 SUCCESS

SERVICE_NAME: sshd
        RESET_PERIOD (in seconds)    : 86400
        REBOOT_MESSAGE               :
        COMMAND_LINE                 :
        FAILURE_ACTIONS              : RESTART -- Delay = 0 milliseconds.
                                       RESTART -- Delay = 0 milliseconds.
                                       RESTART -- Delay = 0 milliseconds.

Suggestion:

• Change the delays to 60000 for the first two failure actions
• Change the third action to "Take no Action"
