Implementing Restart Delay

[MagnumMan]

I browsed through the code and it appears that the restart delay really isn't hooked up at all, so I hooked it up:

NWNX2Dlg.cpp:169 insert (after setInterval):
watchdogProcess->setDelay(m_intRestartDelay * 1000);

watchdog.h:35 insert (in the struct):
int delay;

watchdog.h:45 insert (after setInternal):
setDelay(0);

watchdogprocess.cpp:33 insert (in the struct):
int delay;

watchdogprocess.cpp:59 insert (before StartAndInject):
Sleep(pWatchdogThreadData->delay);

I'm not sure what the use of this is really for; perhaps to give Dr. Watson enough time to grab a crash dump before restarting?

yes and some people needed a delay to allow the DB to startup and init.

Sometimes the server is restarted to soon and the port (e.g. 5121) is still occupied by the crashed instance. That is what the delay parameter is for.

The executable actually honors the delay, I just seem to have forgotten to update the source files in the zip file. It will be included in the next version, thanks for the info.
