[CLUG] Service monitoring

[Donncha O Caoimh]

You could put an app inside /etc/inittab which'll ensure it gets restarted 
automatically.
Otherwise, what I've done in the past is:
1. Have a shell script running all the time. This shell script checks every 
few seconds if the service is still running.
2. Have a cron job running which checks if the above script is running. This 
cron job runs every minute or so.

There's probably monitoring tools out there but I didn't look around at the 
time.

Donncha.
