That's exactly what it's doing. > Isn't that what daemontools do? As far as I understand, daemontools only watches STD[IN|OUT|ERR] and the pid to tell when it exits. The code I wrote actually requests a virus scan, so you know if everything is functioning. I believe daemontools checks the process every 5 seconds or so.
