I had the same problem with spamass-milter a while back. What you need is a "watchdog" script, something like this...


#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

PID=`ps -ax | grep clmilter | grep -v grep | cut -c 1-5 | tr -d " "`

if [ ! $PID ]
then
  sh `grep /usr/local/bin/clamd /etc/rc.local`
fi

Call the script every 5 minutes from cron.

This is off the top of my head and written with FreeBSD in mind. You'd need to adjust and test, of course. It's just a suggestion to get you started.
