Recent versions of Ubuntu no longer use the "/etc/inittab" system. The current method is to have a file named "ttyS0.conf" in the directory "/etc/init/". The contents of "ttyS0.conf" are listed in message #53. With that file in place, if I perform a "killall faxgetty", faxgetty immediately re-spawns with a new PID. However, if faxgetty dies because of a segfault, it does not automatically respawn. Hence the need for a daemon to monitor the process tree. I couldn't think of a way to trigger a re-spawn whenever a segfault message was issued to "/var/log/syslog" , so I went with the polling method instead.
