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.
