In my case, I was hosting Ventrilo for my WoW guild. It would die occasionally, so I wrote a script that did pgrep vent_srv, and if that returned 1 then I restarted it.

I wrote a similar script a few years ago that used pgrep. If pgrep returned any value besides 1 (I don't think one would use this for init) then it would exit, otherwise, restart the service.
