A computer-implemented method includes: randomly generating, by a process running on a computer device, a reset time for the process; broadcasting a message to other processes in a cluster, the message including the reset time; entering a running state; receiving another message from one of the processes, the other message including another reset time; comparing the other reset time to the reset time; and in response to the comparing, the process performs one of: continuing in the running state based on the other reset time being different than the reset time; and randomly generating a new reset time for the process based on the other reset time coinciding with the reset time.
