Abstract
In switching systems, automatic restarts of parts of the system or of the entire system are used for neutralizing software errors. Given an error that is hard to reproduce, the error cannot be neutralized by the above mechanism. This problem is solved by a restart mechanism that only restarts that software of the computer system that allows a continuation of operations of the computer system with reduced functionality.
