How do I configure my Amazon Linux service to auto-restart if it fails?
I'm using Amazon Linux. I have a script to start and stop a service, written in bash, located at
/etc/init.d/wildfly
At the various run levels, I have symlinks to ensure the script starts and stops, for instance
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S80wildfly
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S80wildfly
But my question is, what do I need to do to ensure if the service fails, ti can automatically restart? I read on CentOS, you can create a file (e.g. "wildfly.service") with the directives
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
Where do the equivalent directives live on Amazon Linux?
services amazon-ec2 autostart amazon-linux

I'm using Amazon Linux.
ok, type in man init
If it's any fresh you'll see it's systemd in fact. So thus your q-n transforms into something answered already.
In case you consider systemd over-engineered (as many of us in fact do) you can give a try to venerable daemon-tools or smth alike (runit, supervisord). Be prepared it might be not in standard repos Amazon Linux comes with though.

If your version of Amazon Linux is >=2.0, it has systemd by default. In this case, you should simply be able to use the same unit file you have been using on CentOS, with the restart directives.
Amazon Linux AMI
If you are you are running Amazon Linux AMI, you will need to either use a separate supervisor to monitor your process (as poige mentioned), or utilize /etc/inittab.
For example, in order to have sysvinit automatically restart your process:
# Start and respawn process
mydaemon:2345:respawn:/path/to/executable
This tells sysvinit to start the process on runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and restart it when it terminates.
