I'm writing a Cocoa app that needs to run 24/7, and it's looking

restart it if it fails.
Does anyone have advice on this?
You could schedule a script (with cron or launchd, depending on
the OS version) to run every so often to check if it's running and
if not, start it with "open".
Although frankly I'm not a big fan of such an approach. Blindly
restarting an app without first determining the reason it failed
is very rarely a useful thing to do. Quite often it will simply
fail again.

Thanks. I'm with you on that. I'd probably do something like send
an email with the failure notification as well as relaunch the app,
but the app's gotta keep going no matter what.
