We've been running WebObjects apps with wotaskd+JavaMonitor on Amazon Linux for 
several years.  I didn't jump on your thread from mid-July ("Auto restart of 
wotaskd in Linux") only because we don't have a solution to that specific 
problem—admittedly our deployment setup is fairly modest, but I've never seen a 
crashed wotaskd (that I can recall).  I tested it at the time, and certainly 
killing wotaskd on a fresh appserver instance didn't re-spawn a new one—it's 
just not a problem we've needed to solve, so I had nothing to add for you.

Our appservers certainly do survive reboots, though, so I'll described the 
setup briefly here.  (We only run "standalone" appservers where JavaMonitor 
monitors wotaskd on the same host, nothing with app instances distributed over 
more than one host.)  We have a very simple initialisation script (with '# 
chkconfig: - 90 20') that starts (and stops and restarts) wotaskd and 
JavaMonitor (minimally modified from the script that was posted to the mailing 
list years ago, and is probably still available via the wiki) installed as 
/etc/init.d/webobjects, and at appserver creation time we run:

chkconfig --add webobjects
chkconfig webobjects on
/etc/init.d/webobjects start

And that's pretty much it.  That should start wotaskd+JavaMonitor at appserver 
creation time, and re-start it on reboot.  Any app instances running prior to 
reboot should also be re-started after reboot.
