If you mean process dying with "hangs up" then you could use the
ps.monitor that is in contrib. If you mean stop working as expected or
hangs then it is a unresolved problem in general, and you need to look
into making decisions based on timeouts. For instance have your script
touch a file then write a monitor to alert if you if that file is too
old. Should you mean a signal perhaps you want to trap that?

In addition to Allan's suggestions I would also suggest looking into Mon
traps. If your long lived process runs a program that generates a Mon trap
every X period of time (1 minute, 10 seconds, whatever...) then you could
have a trap timeout in Mon to detect when it stopped generating traps.
