Why don't you write a shell script checking if the process exists. Ps -aux | grep witangod
And if its there write to the system process exists.. If not have it start witango.. Then have a cron job run it every so often. I have my checking the process every minute to make sure its up.

Hello, Lately our WiTango 5.0 (for OS X) witangod has been dying on us. I'm not really sure how to even start trying to track down why... So I'm looking around for info on how to do that. In the mean time, it would be nice if there was some way to have it automatically restarted if it dies. Is there a way to set it up to do that, or is there some other tool for OS X that would do it for me? As it stands - we start it manually from the command line. I seem to recall trying to get it to start automatically before and having trouble with it, but that was probably a year and half or two years ago and I haven't really touched it since. The server has pretty much been sitting unused for that time until about 2 months ago when our old Tango 3.x server became too problematic to continue using. ;) So.. It's not like it's been running along fine and now is dying.. It's only really dying now since we started acutally using it. ;) Any thoughts or suggestions, or whatever would be very much appreciated.
