Wow! Ask and you shall receive! Thanks!

Here's another question. Mac OS X has a built-in process monitoring 
software called watchdog. The idea seems similar to restartWrapper. 
The configuration seems pretty simple. Adding radiator to it doesn't 
seem like it would be that hard. Anybody tried this?

Thanks!
