Try monit... saved me a couple of times. Also it can automatically start a process if it's down. Also sends and email if a process went down or recovered.

monitoring the presence of the process is one thing but you may also want to consider monitoring if that process is operational. it's like monitoring a service (using Nagios, etc) by polling only the service port (connect) and without testing the complete service (connect, auth, read, write, dependencies, etc) which can lead to users' "downtime" if they can't write any data (ie. disk full).
