Subject: [PATCH] watch: don't burn CPU on IDLE failures
Date: Sat,  4 Jul 2020 21:33:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200704213313.4441-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)

Network connections fail and need to be detected sooner rather
than later during IDLE to avoid backtrace floods.  In case the
IDLE process dies completely, don't respawn right away, either,
to avoid entering a respawn loop.

There's also a typo fix :P
