Hi,
cfengine might be a bit of overkill, but it has this functionality built in: http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html#processes
Alternatively, we also use CheckService on some machines: http://www.linvision.com/checkservice/ but it only sends us notification when a service has died - I've got no clue if it can restart them.
hth, Erik.

Does anybody know of an existing script/utility that can periodically check to see if a specific process is still running?
We are having continual problems with amavisd crashing frequently. I was hoping I could find something that can check the status of the daemon (via Cron) and restart it if it has failed.
