* Doesn't tightloop if your process immediately dies again.
* Captures stdout and stderr from your process and logs them with
timestamps[1]_.
* Can be run in the background as a daemon[2]_.
* Gracefully move between different stoic processses, waiting for the previous
process to stop and release any ports before starting the next[3]_.
* Notifies by email[4]_, IRC[5]_ or HTTP[6]_ when the process restarts.
