I think defaults aren't good too. I had this service nebula which is known to fail. supervise-daemon with the default options would restart it as fast as possible for some N times and then stop. Usually nebula fails because of network-conditions that take some to change again. So I added the last line below. These are good for network-problems, but at least bit slower restart per default would be better, not=3F nebula often dies at boot and that never slowed down my boot time.

Best
