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

have some way of making sure it's always going, and automatically
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.
