While I think it's a little off-topic from Wiggy's original request (I think he 
just wants to be able to communicate with the remote process interactively 
instead of having a watchdog process automatically restarting it), but 
supervisor restarts crashed processes and now ships with an event listener that 
will restart a process if it's consuming too much memory:
