Upstart is ideal. Let it respawn.

Alternatively, a bit primitive but it works, write a script that calls
itself in the last line:

   #!/bin/sh
   /path/to/myprogram -with -args -as -needed
   exec $0 $*

This will make sure that myprogram is always running - and if it stops,
it will be restarted immediately. There will only ever be one copy
running though. Unless you run more than one copy of the script, of
course.

Note: Untested - just showing the idea...

Regards, K.
