+NSSM will pause an increasingly longer time between subsequent restart attempts\r
+if the service fails to start in a timely manner, up to a maximum of 60 seconds.\r
+This is so it does not consume an excessive amount of CPU time trying to start\r
+a failed application over and over again. If you identify the cause of the\r
+failure and don't want to wait you can use the Windows service console to\r
+send a continue signal to NSSM and it will retry within a few seconds.\r
