[ale] Looking for software to keep processes running.

[Chris Fowler]

while (1) {
  switch((pid = fork())) {
    case -1:
        exit(1);
    case 0:
        execl("/bin/program", "/bin/program", 0);
        exit(1);
    default:
      waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
  }
}

All program must be ran in the foreground and not become a daemon.
