* Prevent deadlock in indexer initialisation during graceful restart

* Move from gracehttp to our own service to add graceful ssh

* Add timeout for start of indexers and make hammer time configurable

* Fix issue with re-initialization in indexer during tests

* move the code to detect use of closed to graceful

* Handle logs gracefully - add a pid suffix just before restart

* Move to using a cond and a holder for indexers

* use time.Since

* Add some comments and attribution

* update modules.txt

* Use zero to disable timeout

* Move RestartProcess to its own file

* Add cleanup routine
