Before subruns were available, most experiments at TRIUMF have used the "auto restart" function. Now, I think most of them use subruns,
with the notable exception of PIENU where the analysis framework could not handle subruns. (PIENU is now shutdown and disassembled).

Mouse click "auto restart" to "yes" is a little bit simpler than setting up a sequencer file, and it survives a crash of mhttpd.

Does the sequencer survive a crash or a restart of mhttpd?
