### Main section applies to all services
# Following configuration values are supported:
# blacklist: List of services that will not be restarted.
#     Service names must not include the trailing ".service".
#     Example: blacklist=httpd,myslqd,firewalld
# whitelist: List of services that will be restarted even though
#     they are hardcoded in the internal blacklist in the script.
#     Service names must not include the trailing ".service".
#     Example: whitelist=dbus
[MAIN]
blacklist=mysqld
whitelist=dbus,httpd,firewalld

### Sections for individual services
# Following configuration values are supported:
# dow: Day of week when service will be restarted
#      Valid values are "mon","tue","wed","thu","fri","sat","sun"
#      as a comma separated list or ranges of values.
#      Example: dow=mon-wed,fri
# hours: Hours when service will be restarted. If script is called
#      outside of the specified hours, restart of service will be 
#      skipped.
#      Example: hours=12-14,18-20
# pre: Pre condition to check before service will be restarted.
#      This can be any command that will be run in a shell as 
#      the calling user. If the return value is not zero, the 
#      service will not be restarted.
#      Example: pre="apachectl configtest"
# post: Post condition to check after service restart. If the
#      return value is not zero. an error message will be 
#      printed to stderr. This can be useful if the output
#      of the script is redirected to a log file that is 
#      monitored.
