Exclamation Autorestarting For Game Servers
In the past I've used the inittab feature on linux to set all my gameservers to autorestart if they crash or go down for whatever reason. Obviously FreeBSD does not have inittab, so I was wondering what I could use that's built into FreeBSD, or what program I could use to monitor the gameserver and autorestart it if it goes down? I tried monitord with no success, no matter what I tried it wouldn't work.

Thank you for your help in advance.

man 8 init

Partial quote from the man page:
Code:
     The init utility can also be used to keep arbitrary daemons running,
     automatically restarting them if they die.  In this case, the first field
     in the ttys(5) file must not reference the path to a configured device
     node and will be passed to the daemon as the final argument on its com-
     mand line.  This is similar to the facility offered in the AT&T System V
     UNIX /etc/inittab.


Another alternative would be to use djb's daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html)

I understand that, but what syntax would I use?

Say I want to run an hltv, which is ran by simply su - to the user and ./hltv

What syntax would I use?
