No recovery action takes place. This is the recommended action type for the final recovery action, if you specify any actions at all; it prevents a never ending number of recovery attempts if the service has failed permanently. |
| Restart the service |
Attempt to restart the service after Delay seconds have elapsed. |

Restart the computer after Delay seconds have elapsed. If you also specify a Reboot text in the Service properties pane, then that message text will be broadcast to all logged-in users prior to the system restart. |
| Run a program |
Run an external program after Delay seconds have elapsed. You must also specify a Run command in the Service properties pane if you choose this recovery action. |
|
| Delay |
Enter the delay between the service failure and the start of the recovery action, in seconds. |
