+safetynet allows you to monitor and restart processes without having to
+write large and complicated init scripts. The config file is easy to
+understand and learn and you can have the whole script setup and running
+in under 10m, so you can get on with doing more important things than
+worrying if your ssh daemon is still running.
+
+You will probably want to add a crontab entry for root
+(crontab -e as root) such as
+0,15,30,45 * * * * ${PREFIX}/bin/safetynet --cron
+which will cause the script to be run every 15 minutes.
