If you can write code for the critical process, have it send a message to your watchdog on a regular basis. If the watchdog misses two or three messages, it kills and restarts the process. If you do not have access to the code, you will have to look for something the process does on a regular basis and maybe key off that.
Thank you. Actually this answers my question. I was wondering if there was some kind of an OS/kernel way of testing if a project is still active or not. I've done some reading and didn't find any reference to what i needed. The options you've posted above gave me the answer i was looking for. Thanks, Eugen
