BUT...don't be too quick with the cycling, all turbojets windup very slowly at higher altitudes, so if it's accelerating and the EGT is not in danger of overtemping, keep it going!
Ah yes indeed. I've seen cases where panicked pilots did give up on restarting engines by cycling off the FC when the symptoms were only sluggish RPM rise at altitude during a restart.

The key at altitude is to monitor EGT before cycling off a fuel control.

I hope that all the pilots reading this stuff on a board like this operate to their SOPs. These other words of wisdom are truly second order stuff when you're in deep.
