[lug] linux process supervision

[Ferdinand P. Schmid]

HI,
I wrote some scripts and a C++ application for one of my systems that I
would like to keep running at all times.  During my tests for running these
processes in the background I found that for some reason they sometimes go
away (crash or die).  So here is my question:

Services that are started out of inetd are watched out for by inetd (same
thing for tcpserver).  So if they crash or die inetd restarts them
immediately.  Is there a facility in Linux that I could use to take care of
my own basic processes that are note internet related?  I would of course
like to do this in a way that is not considered bad style - if there is
such a thing.

Thanks,
Ferdinand
