The best way to ensure your daemon or agent is always running is to

run via launchd.
Start by reading the launchd man page and the "Daemons and Agents"

note; these will give you an overview of how Mac OS X used launchd
to manage
these types of on-demand and always-on services.
But my app is a "normal" Cocoa App, it's not a daemon or an agent.
It's still essentially an agent, just one that runs in the foreground,
not the background.
You can use launchd to keep your app alive. That way you, don't have
to worry about adding code to your application to do it, you just have
to ensure the launchd property list is in the right place.
That will also make development of your application easier, because
your application can run normally; you won't have to put a bunch of
extra code into it to disable its keep-alive behavior during
development.
