Server_Start_Delay

The Server_Start_Delay option specifies how long (in seconds) the RT process sleeps between traversals of the list of connection names in the Server_Names option. This option, if used by multiple RTclients in conjunction with Server_Start_Timeout and Server_Start_Max_Tries, can also control the number of processes that attempt to start RTserver and the rate that these attempts occur.

If the RT process is using the start_never start prefix, the process still sleeps between traversals, but no automatic starts are preformed. For more information on start prefixes, see Start Prefix. The number of times the RT process traverses the connection names in the Server_Names option is dictated by the Server_Start_Max_Tries option.

This option is required and cannot be unset.
