Maybe make the time to wait between retries a commandline parameter? That way, we can play with that value without requiring new code commits. For example, 5 mins. maybe more than enough time to wait between retries. Another thing to consider is add an equivalent of server.settings.js file for server config with db info, and settings like this.
Seems easy enough, at least adding the command line parameters. If both command line and settings file are present, though, which one should take priority?
commandline takes priority. settings file provides sensible defaults for the install which you can override temporarily via the commandline.
