  40 I don't know how unstable your network is, but it is extremely rare for
  41 either services or an ircd to crash on our network. In fact, it is almost
  42 unheard of. On top of that, I would guess that most configurations have
  43 services connecting to a server on localhost, thus lessening the chances of
  44 networking issues causing a link failure. Really, the only time our
  45 services go down is when the machine is rebooted after applying necessary
  46 patches and such to the OS. I see no need for services tu auto-reconnect in
  47 such an environment.

  49 &gt;<i> &gt; Use a crontab entry that runs a script which checks to see if they are
  50 </I>&gt;<i> &gt; still running. If they aren't, then the script should restart them.
