I've got a system I'm in charge of that uses a standard init script. i.e.

The problem is the daemon can randomly crash and because it's a signed
binary I can't just fix the problem and recompile.
The thing MUST stay running. I was thinking about using a Nagios solution
but that seems like overkill.
Is there someway to check if the process is running with cron? I was
thinking I could just do a restart once an hour, but it seems there should
just be a way to check the pid to see if it's running instead of a full
restart.
You should use supervisor.
