Agreed... I want to monitor the process itself, not keep it connected
to the DB servers all the time..

Why use daemontools to keep qmail or clamd running? There's always that
off chance that something might cause the daemon to die unexpectedly...
An obscure bug perhaps... And if it happens, I want to ensure that the
daemon is brought back up automatically. At least, I *thought* that's
what daemontools was for... Am I mistaken? (I'm rather new to
daemontools)
