[ale] permanent process

[dcorbin at imperitek.com (David Corbin)]

I have several processes that I would like to be up "all the time" 
(maintenance excluded).  Normally, this screams "inittab" at me, but 
given then nature of the process (networking related), I don't want them 
spawned right when inittab is processed.  Any suggestions on how to 
handle this?

For the record, I'm talking about pppoe (DSL), and vtun(which runs over 
the pppoe).  I've had some problems lately with pppoe "disappearing".  I 
could easily have a script that monitors and restarts, but is this the 
best way?

Thanks.
David Corbin
