I'm currently looking at some system by which tool maintainers may
specify automatic restart scripts that are sufficiently robust for
general use.

Amongst other requirements, it will send an obligatory email on every
restart and will refuse to restart more than X times in a window of Y
(where X and Y are still undecided but likely to be 3 and 24h).  This is
to prevent problematic tools from hammering on resources unattended.
