I hope someone chimes in with a better idea, because my ideas involve some work...
If you have sufficient rights to have cron jobs, consider writing a little monitor that runs via cron. It just needs to look for the appserver process, or retrieve a page using wget or lynx -dump, and if it can't get the page, run a script to restart webkit. If you can't have cron jobs, but can have 'at' jobs, write the same monitor as for cron, but extend it slightly to resubmit itself via the 'at' mechanism when it completes. If you can't have 'at' jobs, I don't know what to try. Of two proposed above, cron is the better. It will survive a reboot nicely, wait its waiting period, and start your webkit. With 'at', I don't know the behavior across a reboot that takes the machine out of commission past the start time of the job.

Hi, everyone. I am running Webware on a shared Linux web server (I don't have root priveleges), and am wondering what I can do to make certain that it stays running. I've been starting the appserver by logging in via ssh, and running 'nohup Appserver &', and that works, but sometimes it dies for no apparent reason. I also need a way to make sure that it gets restarted if they reboot the server. I am hoping for a solution that doesn't involve the server admins installing Webware system wide. Has anyone else solved this problem?
