The daemon code needs a helper program to restart a process that
exit's after some number of iterations.  For example the poller
for a disk array.  If that program understands some common signal
protocols (viz. HUP to restart and passing USR1/USR2) then we can
record the pid of the restarter process as the pid of the service
(as long as the termination script doesn't send a KILL (9) as the
first step in termination.

The options for the restarter should include a sleep delay between
executions, a set of exit codes that trigger a failure, what to do
on a signal exit, and a failed execve.  I'm not sure exactly how
useful this is in general, but the script I use as a substitute is
"yes | xapply -f '%0...' - " which is not very cool.
