I don't think that's how it works.
'autorestart' allows an incomplete group to be continued after the
server comes up. So it shouldn't affect a completed group at all. It
doesn't try to re-run a failed client.
I imagine it looks at the 'work list' and runs anything there. So if
the server reboots in the middle of a group, only the jobs that hadn't
finished are restarted. (A client failure that has hit the retry limit
would be assumed to have finished).

I don't know of one.
