The only way for a program to do its job properly is by *stayng alive* not by *crashing*. If a program crashes while doing its job, then you don't need a supervisor, rather a piece of software which does its job without crashing. Crashing should not be the norm, ever. And the problem is not solved by respawning, ever.
