We are running a process on a CentOS box, and periodically it dies. Does anyone happen to have any recommendations for a lightweight tool that can be used to monitor processes and restart them if they happen to fail? I looked at monit, but it appears to be a bit much for restarting a process. Thanks for any feedback, - Ryan

Oracle even uses it for their Cluster Synchronization services (CSS). And of course init is available in almost all versions of unix and linux. nate
