initscripts: Can it restart a service automatically if one crashes?

[Tony Yat-Tung Cheung]

Hi,

I am going to write an init script for a 3rd party application. I would 
like the application to restart itself automatically if it crashes or 
core dumps (up to a predefined limit). Does the current initscripts 
provide similar functionality?

I assume it is important, as we would like to make sure certain services 
continue to be available in the system.

Thank you. Any idea?

Best Regards,
