[users@httpd] fastcgi daemon question....

[Karl Denninger <ka...@denninger.net>]

So...... we have fcgistarter (at least on FreeBSD, and I presume most 
other systems) which will start up daemons attached to the listening 
port and detach them.  However, it doesn't stick around which leads to 
the obvious question:

But..... what if they die for some reason?  They shouldn't, but, what if 
they do (e.g. on an internal code assert)?

Obviously if they all die you're in trouble, as then the server hangs 
since there's nothing to consume the connections.

What are people doing to manage this generally?  Is there a preferred 
utility for this purpose or is this a "roll your own buddy" sort of thing?
