this is really handy, but I have a couple of questions:

1. could it be possible then to automatically add this to every user's job
   description?

2. I wouldn't want to kill a standard universe job that has restarted more than
   10 times. Is there a way to differentiate between restarts in the vanilla
   universe and restarts in the standard universe?

Thanks a lot,
Angel de Vicente
