NAME

       restartd - process checker and/or reloader

DESCRIPTION

       Restartd is a daemon for checking running and not running processes. It reads the /proc directory every n
       seconds and does a POSIX regexp on the process names. You can execute  a  script  or  a  program  if  the
       process is or is not running.

       For executing, restard uses system(3).

       For logging, restartd using syslog with LOG_INFO and LOG_ERR facilities.
