The over-engineering possibilities are endless, but the base app
seems
trivial. I'm sure there are a few sysadmins and other people with
similar problems who's like to see such an app available, too.
Yes. And if it were done well it could go into the system, so
everyone could
use it, and it could be available for startup tasks.
The darwinports project has daemondo (by James Berry) which does some
of this sort of thing already:
"daemondo is a wrapper program that runs daemons. It starts the
specified
daemon on launch, stops it when given SIGTERM, and restarts it on
SIGHUP.
It can also watch for transitions in system state, such as a change in
network availability or system power state, and restart the daemon on
such
an event.
daemondo works well as an adapter between darwin 8's launchd, and
daemons
that are normally started via traditional rc.d style scripts or
parameters."
