I was thinking of hacking up a small program that would read a configuration file and then spawn and monitor the health of several child processes based on the contents of the configuration file. If one of the programs dies, it should restart it. If it dies too quickly, it should back-off and log some error messages, ... This looks and feels a lot like a lobotomized system 5 init program. Before I actually whack one out -- has anyone seen source code for something that has basicly these kinds of features already done for BSD? Paul
