Why not use a shell script as a wrapper? If you don't put something in
the background with an & on the line, the next line will execute when/if
the program started on the current line exits. There are nearly always
other copies of the shell running anyway so you get shared-text
efficiency. If you just want to keep restarting the same program,
something like this should run forever.
