As Donnell said this may be somewhat distro dependent, but with Red Hat/Fedora I think you could make Nagios respawn using a "respawn" line in /etc/inittab. I couldn't give you the exact syntax offhand but it's pretty straightforward.
I also agree that the simplest and most effective way to start it at boot is with SysV init scripts. -Jesse Saletan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
