Does it exit in a sufficiently-controlled state that you could simply exec a new copy at the end of the finalization block? The available parameters should be accessible in /proc.

No need to modify the program. You can simply script it as

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  yourprogram youroptions
done

With caution. You need to make sure that it doesn't try to restart if it's received a signal that the system's going down because of a power failure etc., where the last thing you want is a daemon respawning wildly and wasting CPU time that would be much better spent shutting everything else down in a controlled fashion.
