Service that restarts other standalone services

Description

This port allows one to monitor other standalone services and automatically restart them if they are accidentally and unwittingly terminated, or crash either because of instability or a DoS attack. It simplifies a task capable of being performed by cron(8) by not requiring custom scripts to be written for each service being monitored. The configuration file is simple and easily setup.

Note: version 0.4.1 has a different configuration file format and any previous configuration file should be updated accordingly.
