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

[Karl Denninger]

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?
