Symptoms

If a child process is killed, cored, or dies, the parent process does not restart it and the service stops serving SecurID authentication.

Impact

SecurID authentication failed, but service recovered by runsv.

Conditions

In some exceptional cases, the child process exits.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Now, aced can restart a child process only. There is no need to exit the main process and restart all the children.
