Meant to follow up but Brandon beat me to it.  The current way
fscd handles processes that die is try, give up.  It won't go
into a vicious loop attempting to restart something that is
just failing.  It will also log the event (stop reason, attempt
to start, success||fail) so you can check messages.  I've
thought about coming up with a method to plug this into
Nagios but I just moved into a new place and have a TON of
work to do.  But I love to hear feedback, even if I don't
get back with you right away.  Cheers,
