Run it from root's crontab. Check every n minutes if the script is running, if not start it. I know it is bad, but it works.

Here is my example:
# m h  dom mon dow   command
# run every 5 minutes
*/5	*	*	*	*	/usr/bin/pgrep read_temp.sh >/dev/null || /var/www/read_temp.sh

Use "sudo crontab -e" to add a new entry to root's crontab. No need to restart.
