[rsyslog-notify] Forum Thread: omprog retries over a long period - (Mode 'post')

Message: 
----------
We have a custom omprog binary that forwards messages to a remote server
over a websocket.  It exits is the websocket closes.  Exits if the network
goes down.  Exits on EOF.  Exits on SIGTERM.  Exits on startup (without
reading from stdin) if it cannot connect to the server over the websocket. 
We're running rsyslog 8.6.0

The program doesn't seem to get restarted if we have a long outage.  Things
work great when I test with a 5-15 minute network outage, but if I do a 24
hour test, it never seems to restart once network connectivity is restored.
 Have I misconfigured things?
